Crosstubes came with both variety of end washers.....I beleive that the early ones were round and later they were made like a D so you go hold them with wp pliers to snug down the self locking nut....Hillmans also had some cross tubes with grease fittings and ends similar to tie rod ends......I got one from Sunbeam Specialties ......its in Herbeam and there is absolutely no play in my steering and no give as there are no rubber bushings in it......Try Rick to see if he has any more.....I think I paid $70 for it -----Original Message----- From: RSpontelli(at)aol.com <RSpontelli(at)aol.com> To: jarrid_gross(at)juno.com <jarrid_gross(at)juno.com> Cc: alpines(at)autox.team.net <alpines(at)autox.team.net> Date: Thursday, July 16, 1998 8:11 PM Subject: Re: Crosstube bushing delemma
