Corvettefaq is awesome. I'd also like to add the archives of this Forum. I typically check the archives first, before asking my question. There is a lot of info in the archives.

:steering:
Do you have the dimensions? I have been looking at the all steel bushings, guldstrand sells them for a hefty price but a lot of others like speedwaymotors, day motorsports..and so on also sell them as universal ones in several sizes. One of those sizes must fit the corvette. Some can even be greased with a zerk fitting on them (you need to drill a hole in the arm for that though)


Are you sure VSE is out of business? That''d be a shame, I never got to look through their catalog and they don''t have a website we can snoop around on.
