control arm bushings (Del-a-lum bushings) are
available for the upper control arms. The bushings are a direct
replacement. Simply press out the old bushings and press in the new. What
is a Del-a-lum bushing? The outer portion of the bushing is an aluminum
housing. The aluminum housing is machined with grease groves and has
provision for a grease fitting. The bushing presses into the control arm
similar to that of a factory bushing. The internal part of the bushing has
a plastic rotating sleeve. The sleeve provides isolation between the steel
pin and /or shaft (depending on location). The sleeve also acts as a
bearing surface for the control arm to pivot on. Each side of the bushing
has additional plastic thrust washers backed by steel thrust washers. The
thrust washers are separate from the internal sleeve and provide fore and
aft control. A grease fitting is employed with each bushing so full
lubrication is achieved. Del-alum bushings do not squeak or make noise.
They are an exclusive Global West product.
Part # 1039 --- Cost $130.16 one kit per car.
