control arm bushings for 1st gen camaro

[racer913]

rebuilding front end on my 67 camaro I could just some help deciding who makes good bind free bushings

Global West, Afco and others. That said, the same can be accomplished by modifying poly graphite bushings by adding a zerk fitting, cutting a grease groove in the bushing and turning down the sleeve which is what I had on my Chevelle.

actually no it can't. The poly bushing will still deflect, albeit less than the stock rubber one. The Del-A-Lum style that global west sells will not and will still move just as free if not more so.

worked well for me, footbraking my 3880 lb, Chevelle to a 1.28 best 60 foot with 59% of that weight on the nose.)

whoopdie f'n doo. I was just pointing out that no, "the same can't be accomplished" by modifying a poly busing. Deflection may not matter to you, but to a lot of class racers it does. Since you aren't one, you don't get it.

oh I forgot, only class racers get it.

FYI, one of the best stock/super stock builders in the country disagrees with you.
