GLOBALWEST Del-alum Questions....

Anyone run Globalwest's Del-alum bushings on the front of their GM A-body 68-72?

KIT # 1012

... mainly uppers...

Also have Moog K5250 Cross Shafts

Thanks

 

I have them on my racecar

 

I have them on my 67 GS upper and lower.
Assembled them carefully, greasing them and watching the grease groves alignment during assembly. Your wheel alignment is locked in with these. I noticed no difference in the ride or road noise. They should last forever too.

 

Thanks guys.....
Just experiencing the insert/ bushing not rotating in the alumni sleeves..

But are rotating around the shaft ..very stiffly...

Is that normal.....?

My GBW lowers are fine they rotate exceptionally..

What am I missing. ?

Thanks

 

I don't know, but you could call Global West for advice.

 

Are you using OEM control arms or??

 

Yes, original a-arms.
I laid out all the parts on a work bench. Made sure the grease grooves and fittings were aligned.
Greased and assembled carefully.
Should be good for 100 years.
