Did not notice any evidence of metal to metal where the links mount in the fittings. Street Lynx admitted a batch of bad bushings and sent me replacements for free.
The shocks are bushing mounted.
It may well be an alignment issue with the links but the system was designed for 68-70 B Bodies. That does not mean I don't have something slightly out of line though. I will have to take a closer look at that. I am going to try softening the shock setting two more clicks and see what that does.
