So they are giving you a new set? That's good if they are.

Yes, fantastic to get another $20 part that is going to fail again

Yeah they are, and I know they will fail again, I probably won't bother installing them, I'm trying to gather some money to jump Nay's Adj. if it hasn't sold yet ... That would be the real solution.

sell the new bushings to some unsuspecting chap on ebay.

Jeez, wish I would have read this thread earlier. I put in a set of OME panhard rod bushings less than a year ago on an 80 that hadn't been off-road since I put them in, and I've been trying to track down a bad wobble that's been getting worse. Just found the source: the driver's side bushing is allowing the rod to move about 1/8" even though it's torqued to spec.

Time for an order to Slee. (Can't use rubber, have an oil leak I don't feel like fixing right now.)
