[V8] Powerflex Urethane suspension bushings

[too many quattros]

tony-

i have an easy fix for that.  graphite impregnated grease.  i lubed the crap
out of them when i stalled in control arms and no probs.  my first car that
i did this with was the 4ksq in 1996.  no noise at all, this many years
later.  

as for the v8, i am not sure how u would even do a delrin control arm
bushing.  it needs a way to move on the inner side.  the outer would be
easy.  

as for delrin as a product u can now actually buy graphite impregnated
material stock.  i did 2 sets about 8 years ago for my cq and a buddies with
no probs.  still working good on my car.  my buddies, hit an elk.  i now
have it for parts. 


cheers,

Shayne
