      Front lower a arm greaseable bushings

      I'am looking for greaseable bushings in my original front lower trailingarms for a Chevelle-65.
      What do you use and works best?

      All under 6.27 litres is a starter.

      I have made my own greaseable bushings and housings. But that was for bushings that needed, or could use grease. And they were either metal on metal bushings, poly bushings or a variant of delrin bushings. .

      Are you looking to replace your bushings with poly, metal or plastic or are you wanting to grease stock type bushings? Stock bushings dont need grease I think. JR

      Oh, and my preference for the bushings that I have made are Delrin AF plastic bushings. The material is perfect for car suspension bushings. And a dream to machine. And..... They dont need any grease.

      I replied on TC, but figured I would put the same up here for others.

      Not sure if both holes are round on the '65. My '71 has one oval and one round hole. I'm running the solid derlin bushings.

      Well i'am using Edelbrocks traling arms,shocks,springs,antihop bars and braces in the back and Edelbrocks springs and shocks in the front. Energy suspensions bushings for the swaybar, all bushings are greasable including the upper front trailing arm. The only original bushings thats left are the ones in the lower trailing arm and they look a little bit tired.....
