LCA pivot

autoxcuda said

For nylon or delin I don't think you need to make a new pivot. Just a nylon/delin bushing that fits. Problem is the LCA shell is totally varible diameter for the OD of the bushing. And the housing the bushing presses into is usually gouged and not a precision machined for a good bearing surface for the nylon or derin. Do you have some ideas to overcome the OD bearing surface? Like you own shell/sleeve to press into the LCA?

I think Firm Feel makes a nylon bushing insert.

Yes, Firm Feel does but it is more along the lines of a "poly" busing made out of nylon. Think more along the lines of a nylon bearing for what I'm thinking. With the inner and outer shells. I cant' seem to find a picture but Herb Adams talks about them on P. 23 of his book "chassis engineering" and has a picture. if you have that book. but yes, pretty much a pressed in sleeve.

the main reason I am making a new pivot is because one of mine is bent. and if it is bent then it isn't really strong enough for my needs.
