Default Bushing

More info needed .

Is that a rubber bushing inside the pivot point ? It.looks like the bushing slips over a short shaft or stud . But what stops the bushing from coming out ? It looks like the short stud will have to press out or grind the end off ?

You could machine up a new poly bushing on a lathe. Poly bushings are now widely used in suspension components.

If you don't have a small lathe, you really should get one. You will be making all types of stuff with it.

BTW Delrin is easy to buy. I recently machined up some Delrin O scale model railway wheels for a friend.




Good luck .
