Reply to "KONI SHOCK ABSORBER BUSHINGS"

My illustraction with 4 different setups was from a past discussion. the lower left is an example of plastic inserts and using a sleeve to prevent the tighten of the bolt from clamping down on the insert. thus when the bolt is tighten, the sleeve becomes fixed to the frame "ears" and bolt.

as for the need for the outer sleeve. the lower left illustration is what I have observed as being sold. However, I noticed that the interferance between the shock blue and the plastic insert would be a thin (possibly sharp) that could "slice" of the lips of the insert. while this would work the majority of the uses,

However, if the application was severe duty, I could see the need to use an outer sleeve that had a smooth outside radius, provided a larger OD for not slicing the insert's lip
