Great video Pete, all of the information you give helps keep these classics alive... Oh Man that music my wife thought I was watching something "NAUGHTY"!! Have a great day Pete
Great explanation. I use acetal copolymer, similar to delrin for trailing arm bushings. Tried UHMW but, it was too soft and can swell when wet. Nylon may be another option. You are correct, the trailing arms should be concentric to the mating front beam bearings. Axial load on the needle bearings can cause premature wear however, the trailing arms only oscillate but, a misalignment will be present.
I'm glad someone else heard that music I thought my phone had a virus. I've been running the polyurethane for that reason but that was before delrin started being available. May have to order some in the near future.
Hey Mike, thanks for the comment. We do not, mostly because all beams are different ID's, we would have to make several, not something that we want to undertake.

The more you know. Knowledge is power! thanks my friend Pete for both :)
Never thought of it that way.
Good job explaining it also.
That goes to show that you're never too old to learn something new.
And Los Pros got your back👍🇩🇪
Great info vid. I like how you showed why your delrin bushings are superior and why you'd want them
Full length support makes so much sense!👍
Great information yes the delrin bushings Thanks for showing the bearing wear /load

Well that makes a difference for sure. Thanks
Great infomercial. Very helpful and great explanation of why you are superior
Makes sense to me.
Good tid bits.
Great info and explanation of the need to use Delrin bushings.

thank you for the great information. keep up the amazing work that you all do!!
@AirkewldVWs is there a place to purchase Delrin Busings on your site?
No sorry. Too many dimensions and tubing options to make them for every option.
Do you sell just the bushings?
Hey Mike, thanks for the comment. We do not, mostly because all beams are different ID's, we would have to make several, not something that we want to undertake.
But you don't sell them on there own, you have to buy a Beam to get those ?
Correct. Too many variations for us to make them fit and OEM set up. We control the tube, we control the bushing, it works every time.
I might need soma that there delrins
You are still alive?
