I've begun producing Delrin Rear Suspension Bushings for the Thunderbird and Mark VIII's.
These are sold for "Off Road / Racing Use" Only! If you choose to use these on the street, you do so at your own risk! No warranties of any kind are offered.
Details on the development, with pictures, comments from another SCCoA Member who has had these installed by me, and my track results, can be found in this "Member Only Forums" Thread:

Mark VIII LCA with Delrin Bushings and Stainless Steel Zerk Grease fittings
Knuckle with Delrin Bushings and Stainless Steel Zerk Grease fittings
MN-12 LCA with Delrin Bushings and Stainless Steel Zerk Grease fittings
A full set of Delrin Bushings and Hardcoat Anodized Aluminum Spacers for the Mark VIII LCA's
One of the Delrin Bushings for the MN-12 LCA showing the stepped machining required
The LCA kits will consist of Delrin Bushings, Hardcoat Anodized 6061-T6 Aluminum Spacers, and 4 Stainless Steel Zerk fittings and covers.
The Knuckle kits will include Delrin Bushings, Hardcoat Anodized 6061-T6 Aluminum Spacers, and 6 Stainless Steel Zerk fittings and covers.
Installation instructions will be made available on-line.
A couple of quick comments:
1. Stock or aftermarket Mark VIII LCA bushings are not available. If you choose to do this, there will be no turning back.
2. Although I've designed a way to lubricate the Delrin Bushings, they will still squeak occasionally when cold, no way around it.
UPDATE: FWIW, I've been running my Bushings for over a year on both my SC and LSC, and they have yet to make any noise at all.
Pricing will be as follows:
LCA set (either stock or Mark VIII): $325 Shipped (lower 48)
Knuckle Set: $325 Shipped (lower 48)
Complete LCA and Knuckle Set: $625 Shipped (lower 48)
There will be additional shipping charges to areas other than the lower 48.
I've already sold the three sets that I'm currently making.
I have materials on hand for another 4 sets, that will be ready in about 4 weeks.
Additionally, I will have the following for sale, in about 2 weeks
Stock MN-12 LCA's (picture 3), with Delrin Bushings and Stainless Steel Zerk fittings installed - $475 shipped (lower 48)
Mark VIII LCA's, with Delrin Bushings and Stainless Steel Zerk fittings installed - $450 shipped (lower 48)
Knuckles (stock MN-12 hubs), with Delrin Bushings and Stainless Steel Zerk fittings installed - $450 shipped (lower 48) Note: Used Cobra hubs installed for an additional $75
If anyone would like to pre-order any of these kits, or the other items I've listed, I'll require a 50% deposit via PayPal. Otherwise, I'll make another post when these items are ready to ship.
Installation of any of these kits/items is available, for an additional fee, in my climate controlled, lift equipped, garage in Forked River, NJ.
Please PM me with pre-order requests or any questions that you may have.
Regards
