Default PTFB A-Arm Bushings - Repost from Suspension Forum

What does PTFB use for bushings in their comp tubular A-arms? The website shows "bronze thrust washers" and "greaseable solid pivots". I understand the thrust washers but there is no explanation of the what makes up the solid pivots.

I'm thinking they would work well with a set of tall ball joints and my 1LE brakes.

Thanx, Stewart

Call Dave and ask him. Pretty good guy. I can't tell for sure I can take a picture of the ones on my car.

Thanx Skip. I'll have to call him.

A pic would be great. The ones pictured on the PTFB website don't show the bushings plus they look more like 1st Gen arms but who can tell from a picture. From searching the suspension forum I found a thread started by Z code 400 where Dave rang in about the fit of the arms.
