Whaddya  Think?



Item number: 8055542611  
Triumph Tr4  thru Tr6 cars.  New Black  Copolymer front inner Bushing.  
Aluminum Machined inserts,  New Grade  8 Bolts Complete. 




Can't comment on the bushing material but IMHO aluminum is nfg for the  
sleeve (insert) material, it wears fast & can crush axially from the  
compression 
loads when the fastener is tightened. Also the bolts don't have  a long enough 
unthreaded shank to go through the sleeve & bracket properly,  VERY bad in a 
double shear mounting...
