Jason,

What size inner diameter tubing did you use for the the where the bushing is inserted and bolted to the bulkhead? Also what bushings did you use?

Thank,
Mike

I'm sure it sounded good coming out of your head, but I just don't know what your asking. Are you talking about the bushings on the A arms?

Oops, I really sound like a retard when I don't proof read my posts. Yes I am talking about where the A arm mounts to the frame.

The bushings are graphite impregnated polyurethane bushings designed for rear leaf springs for old American cars. The tubing is just machined to match the recommended ID OD for the bushings. If your getting serious about doing something, I can get the part number for them.

I am getting close to the design phase of my car. I want to figure out what rims I am going to use before I begin with the suspension. I would appreciate it if you could tell me the part numbers for the bushings.

Thanks,
Mike
