Steel or Delrin bushings for stock control arms.
« on: August 23, 2009, 08:08:48 AM »
Rubber deflects and urethane binds (it's sticky) Here's where you can get greaseable steel or delrin bushings for stock control arms.

These are for 2wd.

Upper part number:
Steel - 101-740
Delrin - 101-7402

Lower part numbers (note: front bushing needs it's ID enlarged to 14mm or 0.551" or the frame needs to modified with reducer bshings, see post #2):
Steel, front - 101-736
Steel, rear - 101-730
Delrin, front - 101-7362
Delrin, rear - 101-7302

Upper bushings

*AFCO makes the Delrin with steel shells for G bodies. Front lower bushing is 10620069LW and rear lower is 10620076LW. (If you happen to look at their application chart, Monte Carlo and Malibu is wrong for 78-87. Those are full size parts. Look at Cutlass or Regal)

This is how I modding the frame. (paint skills suck)

I used 5/8 to 1/2 reducer bushings and 5/8id washer that where 3/16". You have to open up the frame hole from 14mm (0.551") to 5/8". I used a step drill bit with 1/4" hex shank and ratchet...lol, both sides were done in less then 5 minutes.

Blue = frame
Black = front LCA bushing
Red = reducer bushings and 1/4" thick washer
White in center of bushing is the new smaller bolt hole (1/2")

I know I'm late to the game, but for future reference, GW makes a Del-a-lum bushing kit for the lower.

Part number 1027, Jegs sells it for 139.99.

The reason I went this route is because the bushings are about $10 a piece.
Need frame modding either way.
