@RB3offroad any idea when this will come to fruition? We leave in just over a month for Moab.

What would be wrong with a urethane bushing? I believe it would also help absorb some shock. Even the UHMW is hard for a bushing material.

They definitely need grease grooves. I have to have custom sleeves and bushing made from bronze for equipment at work.
I have found that a radial groove at about 25% from each end, with longitudinal grooves to connect them work really well.

It allows grease to stay in the full circumference of the bushing.

Now that’s the kind of info we’re looking for!
