Delrin Bushings for a '87 Coupe GT

[Per Lindgren]

Just keep in mind that the stock bushes (on power-steered cars, mind
you) are rubber inside a steel sleeve whch in turn is pressed into the
arms. The polyurethane bushings that I installed on my car did not have
the steel sleeve. Because of the steel sleeve, it's no problem measuring
the bushing, but as far as the rubber or poly bushes go, they are a bit
thicker than stock so tey will sit snugly in the arm, and not squeek.
