[QUOTE="wizzo, post: 290452, member: 125"] something to think about if you're using rubber bushings, i recently inspected and replaced the bushings and sleeves in my motor mounts and transmission cross member after a little over a year of use. the sleeves in the motor mounts had egg shaped and the bushings were worn, they hadn't failed but obviously worn. the transmission cross member had some movement at the bushings but they weren't worn near as bad as the motor mounts. i was running the ol faithful ruffstuff bushings and sleeve (i've used the ruffstuff setup for just about everything in the past) but after the issue, i did a little research and found something better (i hope) from barnes 4wd. the main difference is the sleeve. typical bushing and sleeve [IMG]http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/graphics/00000001/xmem2.jpg[/IMG] barnes 4wd bushing and sleeve [IMG]http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/ww24/wizzo1983/buggy%20build%20racen%20changes/SANY2004_zpsa7107a4d.jpg[/IMG] the barnes sleeve has a .219 wall thickness. all bushings will wear but i don't think these sleeve's will egg shape. time will tell, i hope this is an improvement.
