Hi folks, Over the last while I have sent in a few messages regarding observations and general issues I'm having with my front lower control arm bushings. My earlier observations included that the way the bushing gets squeezed between the frame members, the entire suspension travel gets taken up in twisting the rubber portion of the bushing. I also had some concerns over whether the setup would prevent the bushing from shifting in the lower control arm since there is nothing actually holding it in place other than the friction of the press-fit. I had a chance to revisit my bushings the other day to check if they were still where I left them, and it was clear that they had indeed shifted, resulting in the geometry changing. The problem appears to be that the bushings are not captured in the control arms, and therefore its retention in the control arm is based solely on the friction fit between the bushing and the control arm. My checkup indicated that the bushing was in place trapped between the frame mounts, but the control arm had shifted slightly over the bushing. In looking at the geometry, the setup looks extraordinarily hokey. When you stomp on the brake and thereby put lateral force on the suspension, the only thing keeping the control arm from shifting where it connects to the chassis is the friction between the bushing and the control arm and the supplemental support from the sway bar. I suspect that on most DeLoreans with original control arms, that the bushing has probably nicely attached itself to the control arm as a result of corrosion, but my nice new stainless control arms seem to have surfaces that are nice and smooth for the bushing to slide against. I have been struggling with the right fix for this for some time and considered whether I could trap the bushing in the control arm with snap rings (by milling a groove on each end), but the bushing is unfortunately the length of the sleeve, yielding no space to mill a snap-ring groove. And then I noticed at the last DMC Houston open house that one of the stainless control arms was on display in the showroom, and in that control arm was half of a two-piece bushing. A two piece bushing that has a flare at the outer end for each half could effectively trap the inner end of the control arm between the bushing halves. So now to my question: Does anyone have a suggestion or lead on a suitable direction I might explore for trapping the inner control arm and does anyone have a lead on the two-piece bushings that I might try with my control arms?
