Believe me....when it comes to this topic...venting is allowed
And your theory makes sense and all, but if the new bushings didn't fit right because the bar was worn.....they didn't do what they were designed to do.
Ideally...and just another theory ( theories = bulls*** btw

) if the bushings did fit right, they should not move anyways, meaning the bar should not wear.
Now, having said that...... I've said since day one, that because these guys went and released these things without consulting me ,and having someone else test them ( that still pisses me off to no end ) if they fail, I'm not going to be surprised.
These bushings are NOT the design I was told they were going to use. I was told there there was going to be a bearing type of bushing in conjunction with better end links, that would allow the bar to flex a little for the extra weight from the car( very similar to some high end bushings you would find in race cars ), stiffen the ride a little more but not fail. Matter of fact, the genious that came up with this ( I'm being sarcastic ) was a kart racer himself....I was supposed to be impressed by that apparantly. If he's reading.... your full of s***.
But low and behold the teflon idea, which is really nothing more then what I tried on day one, by putting tape on myself,and the bushing around it.
Hence, in closing......if they fail, I won't be surprised at all, and I would love nothing more to rub this in the face of certain Mazda "know it all's " ** cough ** mr kart racer ego f'n maniac
end my vent
that being said
Mine are still fine, and my old mp3 was too before it sold and left town.
