Yes, that's it, I couldn't recall the brand name to refer it before.

My latest truck has urethane bushings in the back at least, maybe the front too. I was planning to buy the Spohn control arms for my keeper, and put the urethane suspension in the one to sell. I have Delrin bushings in my older truck's front upper control arms, that was new and special in 1988.

I prefer a firm ride, but freedom of movement of the suspension is very important. In easy driving it wouldn't be noticed, but pushing really hard in corners it matters.

i put these rear control arms on my 2011 CVPI,


the bushings are floating sleeves, not molded & bound up at ride height. a vast improvement over the single thickness stamped POS's that come on the car!

i wonder if they could be talked into making sets for the FMC Intermediates?

I would praise CHE also, I have a pair of their rear LCA's made for my Mark VII. They are well made.
