I bet you could write an accurate description while using fewer words than 308's post...
I can piss a note in snow more meaningful than our boy 308 could put in a book.

Back to our regularly scheduled discussion.

We've talked a lot about the fore point on the RLCA, but we haven't talked about the aft position. What does that bushing look like?

Kinda like the front, I guess. Good, I was hoping for some good news. At least I don't have to change _that_, too, lol!

Energy Suspension has just pushed me another month out on bushings that were already supposed to have been here. I didn't want to spend the extra $, but I'm just going to pull the band-aid and get them.

^^
Im sure U can.

I only hav a minute.
But to Answer the
" THE HARD PASS"
ON HAVING A POLY BUSHING W/NO SLEEVE..

ON ANY OF YOUR VEHICLES.

I CONGRATULATE YOU ALL ON BEING SMART ENUFF TO NOT USE A SYSTEM LIKE THAT
ON YOUR OWN VEHICLES... THEN..


WE hav a saying about guys that
"know it all." & know more than the people they critique*.
& CHERRY PICK..

**We like to buy um fot what there worth....
& sell um for what they think their worth.**

For those who arent capable of following this thread & whats been said.
These are 2 examples of using poly without an inter sleeve.

Which again was CHERRY PICKED W/O
1st...
thinking w/the grey matter up top.
Before trying to prove somebody wrong or somebody being
'ignorant' (lack of knowledge by definition)
rather than taking the time to fully grasp what was said.

We can argue and stand behind EVERY POINT WE MADE IN OUR 1ST POST.

But @ this point why.
The OP wanted answers.
If t
You think you gave him choices trying to 'debunk' our knowledge. Then good for him. & yourselves.

Glad you all have something better than Poly or rubber on your Anti-Sway bars.
@ least i now know without question you guys are WAY AHEAD OF US ON THINGS RELATED TO SUSPENSION SYSTEMS.

OP. I LISTEN to these boyz. They are SHARP.
we just not up to speed w/um.

But here's a few pics of what YOU ALL PLAN TOO TAKE A
' HARD PASS ' ON .

NUFF SAID
It's not that we're cherry picking your post, it's more like we can't make it all the way through your drivel and still remember what the point was.
Then dont read the drivel.
Nobody told ya u had too last i recall

So what's your point with the sta-bar bushing example? The bar is its own inner sleeve as far as the bushing is concerned, and fastener loading in the nominally single-shear directions is negligible.

Forgive me.
HARD PASS U SAID..
ON ANY POLY THRU ANYTHING W/O A SLEEVE.
Heres another example of criticism of what you do not fully understand as is written.

Note to self: Do not try to explain anything to people who are clearly more experienced and yourself..
Clearly they that have done several hundred..thousands in our case wrk of experience..
Of jobs directly related to auto racing suspension (not daily driver autos )
work..
On a daily basis for 3+decades.

Opps. Too much drivel for folks here to follow.

1. Stop writing with the royal 'We'. It's pretentious as shit.

2. Don't make assumptions on another's level of experience. Your assumptions are making you an ass, which is fitting, because that's exactly where you can shove your arguments from authority.

3. You probably have some reasonable information to share. If you'd just share it instead of acting like you were bringing tablets down the mountain, I'd listen. As it is, you pour out 3 stream-of-consciousness pages of mostly bullshit and expect to be worshipped. That's gonna happen about 1/2 past never.

Is that clear enough?
