Not Ranked
Kevin - If you look at the pics there are two link bushings sandwiching the plate on the control arm, a small length of thick wall tubing ( I cut to fit)between the other two link bushings that are sandwiching the tab I welded on the arm. There may be a very small movement of the link at each set of bushings but it will only be the amount of compression of the bushings themselves. The bar itself rotates in the large pillowblock bushings mounted on the frame. I bought the extra heavy bearings with a kind of babit surface. Wear should be minimal and occur mostly on the babit bushings - I hope.
Mat - I was also concerned on what type other "issues" I might encounter with the front planted, but after I made a lot of conservative corners I ended up hitting them hard enough that I had a very controlled slide through the turns. My side pipes only have about 3.5 inches of clearance at the tips and when cornering moderately aggresive to the right (with my fat a$$ of course in the left seat) I would drag the left tip. This weekend I never dragged a tip. So far I am very happy with the set up - I guess time will tell for sure!
