When you say torsion bar, are you refering to the beam axle?

Also, what kind of risk of fretting are you forseeing with an aluminum bushing secured in a steel mount with a steel bolt, put under high forces with a twisting moment (i.e. bushing spining around the bolt)? The only reason I ask is because I don't think of this mod as something you "pop" in at the track, but rather something you would install, and leave installed. I'm just thinking after a couple of weeks of daily driving there will be pretty excessive tolerances within the joint, wich would be pretty bad.

Is there a steel sleeve within the bushing?

nemesisz · 12-06-2008, 12:12 AM

Are these bushings going to be anything like these?

BTW, these are for a 300ZX.
