Are you serious ? Working as a custom fabricator for half my life and actually having a lathe and mill at my disposal I still gave Bing the $80 for the Bushings because it would cost me more than that trying to machine them myself in just time/labour… And have re-done my entire under body, I cannot think of a single “twist” or “improvement” one could make to a Solid Bushing. ---

very true it could be a log splitter… since when is everyone up in arms about bad spelling and bordom? so i want to make my own bushings? who cares. yeah mine is a newer model craftex its awsome for what we do but sometimes its just to small to handle thick and hard material. the other day i was turning down 5 inch solid stainless stock, needless to sayyyy it was a bitch. i wish i had a bigger more stable machine at times but i have no room for it lol ---

Now if they were $800… sure I’d be making my own. And after trying to think about your “twist” all I can think of would be making them thinner so that the Subframe sits closer to the floor “which would lower the rear end by raising the Subframe slightly” but would also make clearance issues between the Floor, Subframe and Diff. ---

yeah but i dont pay myself when i work for myself… so it would cost me 5 bucks and an hour or 2 and saves me 75 bucks… i have to pay rent and ins. and food and all that other bullshit like everyone else, a 100 bucks here and there makes a difference in my wallet. ---
