Default ADUS 597 LCA Bushings (used)

I have a set of ADUS 597 front LCA (rear position) bushings for sale. Removed to install K-Mac kit. I have modified them to use a zerk fitting for lubrication. The hardest part will be positioning the fitting correctly for the fitting to align with the hole. Took me two tries with one. You can see the indentation where I missed. :-) I also added a channel in the interior of the bushing to allow the grease to flow to all three lube channels in the bushing. I used Green Grease, and had no problems with deterioration of the polyurethane.

I also shortened the pivot tube to allow washers to be used at the end of the bushing. I had trouble with squeaking at first, and found the inner tube was starting to punch through the sheetmetal of the mounting ear when I attempted to torque the mounting bolt. These now work well, and as I stated were only removed for another upgrade.







Zerks included. I cannot remember the drill size I used. It was a size I had in the shop though.

These are $49.95 new from LPD. How does $35 shipped to the US sound?
