I did some strengths of materials and similar courses when I was in college, but I won't even begin to pretend I remember any of that...

Our member that spec'd these materials works in the metals industry and says this meterial should work very well for the application... I am going on that and since I have a set now installed I will see how they wear. If they suck, hey at least I tried. If they are better, well that's a start.

I DO understand that bushings will wear, that's what they're SUPPOSED to do, :rolleyes: but I'm trying to find a material that will wear SLOWER and not have to be replaced every 3 months. Once a year I could live with...

I'm just trying to find a way to IMPROVE the current situation.
