I never have.
I made steel ones my self where there pressed into the arms and the bolt goes thru them. Simpler that the honda set up and less slop.

Uh send me a PM and Ill send you pictures. If im reading your run-on sentance correctly.


I made then out of steel on a lathe 10mm hole for the bolt and .925" or so press fit into the arms. Missed a little on the lengths of the shoulders on the bushings so I had to add 2 washers to get them to space right before there bolted up though the body. Sorry I lost my drawing so I can't remember all the dimensions.

The only thing im interested in the lowers is sperical bearings like you can get for civic arms.

How much of a difference does it make to switch all your bushings to polyurethane? I'm thinking about dropping about $100 and I am mainly hoping it will make a noticable difference...
