Hi Art,

That picture reminds me of a question I have about those rear TAB poly bushings that are "inserted" into old outer shells. I don't see how they work, compared to the originals.

Since they aren't bonded to the outer shell (like the rubber bushings), it seems they can only "take up slack" so to speak—and won't have any snubbing control on rotational loads like the original rear TABs do.

Maybe it's not real noticeable, but I don't see them as being equal to OE, when it comes to doing the intended job. Am I missing something?
Again?

Cranky
