Valiant Lancer steering strut bushings?
The new and original strut bushings are shown here, for those interested in this ridiculously mundane part in a mundane car......
The original part was tapered at the rearmost end so that it could be twisted through the K-member from the front. It is clearly smaller than the later 2-piece upgrade. Therefore, to get the strut-to-LCA bolts to pass through, the extra length of the bushing needs to be taken up as compression which took a fair amount of torque (85% of the final 40-60 ftlbs recommended). They look great and should have a positive effect on caster control when braking.
