Has anyone successfully used this kit?

It's .73 to the factory .83 on the shaft body and doesn't fit. I can't get a single person on the line from them for a refund or an answer.

If it's a simple difference like that it should be easy to fix. I can understand the disappointment with a non-fitting new part.

If your old ones are still serviceable they can likely be drilled for grease fittings.

I believe they are made to NOT use the inner shell, the poly bushing rides right on the pin. So the PF pin would have a larger diameter than stock.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Mine stripped out when installed, put the factory stuff back in. Just throw them out.

I have them on my 69 wagon.
Worked just fine, no problems at all.

Turns out they produced the wrong part with the right part number. They sent the right one and it went on fine. They were a-body spec.

It's on a friends 70 charger getting a full TVS kit. I'm excited to see how the whole package will feel when limited by Radial T/A's.

I'm thinking of trying Bergman's Delrin on my Wife's DD on this years teardown service. We've had the Polys in the there for some time and I wasn't liberal enough with the grease when I installed them, so the car is super creaky.

My UCA bushings are super creaky like that even though they're the rubber ones. It's an annoying noise.
Missed getting to chat with you at Carlisle this year, Dan. Might have the wagon there next year.

I've got some old Prothane units and the FF greaseable pins on mine.

I have a feeling that the car has sat for so long that I'll be replacing bushings soon anyway.
