| DOM tubing. The bushings diameter determines you ID. Chances are you'll need to machine it. |

NOT PIPE....... Tubing.... Preferable DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel), it is stronger than "pipe" and has better precision to "sizing"....

1 3/4" OD Tubing .125" wall thickness will work for the SACO (yellow colored) trailing arm bushings.
I would recommnend either using DOM or chromoly tubing.
The SACO bushings do not squeak as much as the red urethane ones. |
