Tips and Tricks before you Install:

Before you start torquing there are a few other tips and tricks you can use to make your install smoother.

• Lubricate the bolt

This was a critical step in our success. The first go around we didn’t lubricate the bolt. The nut got really hot (to the touch) because of all the friction. That heat softened the metal, making the rod not only too weak to install the bushing, but we actually destroyed the thread. On the grade 8 bolt, we lubricated the thread. It reduced friction, which reduced the heat, allowing the metal to stay strong.

• Lubricate the housing with oil

We also lubricated the housing with oil. The oil helped the bushing slide in by reducing friction. Additionally, a coat of oil will protect your freshly polished metal from corrosion.

• Freeze the bushing

Science backs it up. Metal contracts in the cold. We put the bushing in the freezer for 24 hours before the install to help contract the bushing. Now it didn’t make the bushing just drop in, but even the slightest decrease in the bushing diameter can make all the difference.
