Yeah, fed ex sucks. I hate them now. UPS isn't all that better either.



If you are on the east coast, it's going to take about 5 business days for you to receive yours. If you don't see them by this coming Wednesday, let me know. Thank you.

Chuck,



great service and they look great...the dust seals should help immensely...



Forgive my ignorance but the bushing portion, are we suppose place lube in there at all? I mean the eyelet portion that pivots around?



The reason I ask is that mine are alittle stiff...

You don't have to lube the ball. It got the teflon inside already and it's self lubricating.



You don't need to put the lube between the bushing and the ball either.



It will be hard to turn the ball with your finger. It's meant to be hard to turn. If you put a screwdrive through the ball with the SS bushings on there, it will be easier to rotate it.



Thank you.

BTW, I will suggest those who bought the trailing arms to use a washer or two on the M10 bolt. Since the trailing arm is a solid piece, not hollow, you don't want to bottom out on the bolt. If the bolt is already at the bottom of the thread and you keep torquing it, it's going to snap. Using a washer or two will give you that extra 2-3mm clearance so the bolt will not bottom out.
