Delrin/Aluminum front control arm bushings installed!

This threads a year old. No updates? Rusty obviously didn't buy these and went spl everything.

The OP never did any up-dates, so I went with SPL.

Sorry for the lack of updates everyone, but the delrin bushings are still working great. Have them on the LCA's as well. Of course for adjustability I would prefer full replacement arms machined from aluminum or fabricated from steel tubing, but that takes much longer to design and make, and is 10x the price.
If anyone is interested in the front upper bushings, I have a few sets to sell for cheap.

In the rear suspension I have mostly spherical bearings for the joints, as it's simply easier to purchase high quality parts that are already available.

Considering the low cost of installing delrin/aluminum upgrades, and sometimes restricted by rulebooks, it's a simple upgrade. On the downside, there can be occasional noises either from road conditions or a lot of suspension articulation.

I'm interested as well. Think there's a PM from me in your inbox somewhere. Thanks

Also interested in lower control arm bushings. SPL is the only option we have for those I believe. How would Delrin work for the rear differential bushings?
