Re: 67 C10 front control arm bushings

The old style screw in bushings worked will as long as they stayed lubricated and the threads never rusted up. Once the threads have rusted or experienced 30+ years of wear, it becomes difficult to replace them.

To address the issues associated with these arms, we designed a bushing sleeve that will press in to your factory control arms and eliminate the need for a threaded bushing. Our kit gives you the correct sleeves for a press fit, as well as the Delrin bushings and cross shafts for that application.
Gotcha. Thanks for explaining (re-explaining?).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
