Spell check wouldn't hurt, either. There may be some valid information in there somewhere, but finding it isn't easy.
Simple for you too since you got tens of thousands of hours experience.
Taking the clamp load and shear/twist loads simultaneously wouldn't be good on the bushing material. With the greased slip fit (like the Superpro design), the crush tube can remain stationary and the bushing be able to rotate around it.
I'm putting the SuperPro bushing in short term & waiting for the other manufactured solution for the long term answer. That looks like it will happen, but it will take a while before we see it. The SuperPro bushings are $112. Even if only 50-75% as effective as a spherical, it's still a lot better than stock & the cost isn't absurd. I understand you don't like poly bushings in a philosophical sense, but sometimes you just have to piss with the dick you've got. They're going to run the race, regardless.
Ya, exactly. I don't know of any aftermarket bushings which operate differently. I think this was one of the things 308 was rattling on about, so I was trying translate his (admittedly correct) PSA into English.
Agreed...but even working on a lift I'm too lazy to do the job twice. I'd really like the other solution we talked about. I hope it pans out...soon!
Yes and the primary reason I don't like the poly. Delrin is high durometer and sort of self lubricating yet surprisingly long life. There is less stichon if a delrin tube is rotating around the crush tube than poly. An off-axis bind just puts in more stichon. Delrin won't yield like poly for the off-axis so a compromise...
Sometimes I have an overactive sense of competition, and I kind of want to feel the differences between A, B & C.
For whatever reason, the SuperPro RLCA bushings I received do not have this undercut. They have a longer taper on each side, but it's not as complex of a shape as this. I was a little surprised when I pulled it out of the packet.Could be, if they actually look more like this. Seems it's the Aussie companies that pay enough attention to what's really going on in a compliant bushing to sneak in some compliance.

My set also did not have that cut, if you look at the pictures I posted on the 1st page. I think its just the way the picture was taken that gives you illusion there is a cut.
