  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    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

    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.
