Reply to "stubborn lower-rear control arm bolt"

from my little time googling, Ive notice that the bushings are offered as both solid bronze and the split DU design (couldn't tell if bronze or steel back)

was solid bronze the original? any preferance between types for rebuild?

I did not notice if any of the spacers were offered in stainless, but that sounds like a good ideal.

I did notice that the OD of spacers were machined differently. having the center cut down was common, adding grease passages and even circular groove in the bushing fit.

the one mod I was thinking about would be to cut the center down on the stud. leave the fit in the area of the bushings, but increasing the clearance for the majority of the lenght.

Is there any negative to having the volume in the upright filled with grease?

I made up the illustration from photo's so not sure it reperesents correctly
