So....Im planning the making of rear wishbone bushings for my 412. They are planned to be roughly the same concept as my front control arm bushings.....glass filled delrin with the original steel bush in the center with precision fit and low torque on the bolt with cotter pin and locking point for the eccentric........and then I came upon these

These are from Howe Racing equipment. The same company I am sourcing the rebuildable ball joints from.

These are precison inner and outer tube, bearing style control arm bushings. I have already found some that may be close enough to fit in another make that are similr. I will let you know what I find. Ray

I'm very interested in this Ray, let us know what you come up with. I have a pair of complete wishbones to rebuild. I'm guessing you'll also include thrust washers to keep the arms centered, as you suggested when we all talked about this a couple months ago.

How do these stay lubed? --Brad
