Lower control arm bushings. Help.

[pauly]

Delrin is a tradename for acetal. Acetal works so well because of its inherent lubricity. If you ever burn it, don't breathe the fumes. One of the main ingredients of acetal is formaldehyde. Breathing formaldehyde gas can be very dangerous or fatal. There are different filled varieties of acetal, depending on what properties are desired in the end product.

Of course I did. As an engineer myself... this is the dumbest design of the entire Mopar era of torsion bars. Yeah I removed the sleeve... pushing the bushing into the lower is what stopped 3/4 way down for no reason. No pushing it back out at this point. At this point these lowers go in the garbage can and I buy nice ones.

I've worked on mopars for 40 + years and probably done 50 sets of lower bushings and never had a problem, your doing something wrong for sure. As far as Northstar starters I can do one in about 10 to 15 minutes, big piece of cake. I also worked for Cadillac for 10 + years.

I'm an engineer, never had a problem doing LCA bushings...

I believe Delrin has a graphite impregnated in it so it's more slippery.

Seen it with and without...
