Bart:
Thanks for the tip to go to Vintage Performance, had a look - good website!

I have had a talk to the manufacturer he suggested I go to solid bushings in the upright, due to the fact that my setup which is (Bumpsters posting) Lincoln or T/Bird not really sure on that, but it looks like all the others I have seen on the forum!

The problem I have is that the rubber bush has nothing on the inside but the nut to secure the bolt, no flange or locater, so the bolt goes through the rod end outside the upright then into the bush and thats it - big flex area, urethane aint going to make any difference unless both ends of the bolt are supported, hence make the upright solid with alloy bushes, but the top and bottom inners are good wide urethane bushings!

I was going to try and fit a long bolt so as the rod ends were on the same plane, a bit like the Jaguar IRS, but the CV intrudes in the middle - bugger!
I am also going to upgrade my RM10 Rod ends to chrome-moly/teflon items, and run bigger bolts than the metric OEM items, so hopefully this will stabilize the system?
