hey folks,
don't know if anyone made some of these yet, but these are some bushings i made for the rear suspension linkage on my tri z.

the 4 short ones are for the dog bone, the taller ones for the lower link arm.

i made mine out of UHMW plastic, but they could be made from nylon, delrin, brass, etc.

they fit good, nice and rigid, just gotta get the rest of the rearend back together and see how they hold up.

actually it's a polyethylene. uhmw= ultra high molecular weight. it's a good bearing/bushing-type material we used for wear resistance at my last job. not sure how it's gonna hold up to sand and dirt, but it's pretty cheap.
