[QUOTE="HPCOBRA, post: 3594194, member: 34356"] Installing cradle in my 03 vert. today after making my own (have machine shop [Pork Barrel Engineering])Delrin Bushings using Aluminum Silicon Bronze crush sleeves. Tolerances are critical with each bushing point. Everything is different from press fit bushing tolerances to where each bushing point is in relation to the other. Arms move tightly which will wear in and loosen up as the frame gets used to the new setup. The tabs welded to the cradle are NOT precise after repeated wheel hop events. I would highly recommend using the Delrin with Aluminum Silicon Bronze. MM and ace427 should consider using this material as it has oil in the Bronze and won't squeek like the Urethane bushings and should last a lifetime. The other bushings I'm using are Urethane for the Subframe, front and rear diff, swaybar; Diff brace and Subframe Brace from Billetflow, MM Subframe Connectors, used Coupe Springs...just about everything on postban's list except Toe Link Bars and Level 5 Halfshaves. Severe wheel hop drove me to it. I'll post up the results. [/QUOTE]
