Can't wait.... that looks much more stout than the current design. One question though -- it looks like it sits flush with the face of the opening in the control arm, but wouldn't that make it too narrow to fill the stock frame-side bracket? IIRC the old bushing design has small (6mm?) poly "flanges" that fill that gap, as in this pic below:
Regardless, my fronts have now gone the way of my rears (completely shredded), so this kit would remedy many years of high maintenance and squeaking for me. Will continue watching with interest....

We are using a stock bushing in this set up so they fit and work perfectly. I had wonderful flex this weekend and everything seems to be going very well. I am sorry you got a set of the bad bushings but we would be more than happy to replace them, please pm me your info.
I will keep everybody updated as the testing continues.

I had no idea they would fit (don't know why it didn't occur to me to try). Thanks for the info.

Oh so is it literally a stock bushing that you pressed in there? For some reason I thought "OEM style" in your first post meant "made of the same material" not that they were exactly the same bushings.
I had no idea they would fit (don't know why it didn't occur to me to try). Thanks for the info.

So far I must say I am very happy with the ride and the flex. Stop by and see us at the Mega Meet this weekend.
