Global West Del A Lums Within
Anyone else looking to buy the del a lum front control arm bushings any time soon ? Thunder racing has them for $129 and I figured if we can get some people that are ready to buy right now it may be worth a shot to try em for a group purchase, or anyone else possibly find them for cheaper ?

Well up to 3 so far, i figured we'd probably need at least 5 to get this going, I emailed thunder a little while back but never got a response, maybe they need a few more emails ?

They're replacement lower control arm bushings for the front of our cars, made of machined aluminum, they resist flex much better than rubber or poly, have teflon sleeves and grease fittings, if you think about the load placed on your control arms, the choice is clear.

Im interested in going in with you guys for the most part..
Im having somewhat of a brain fart so you'll have to humor me now. I cant picture how the fitting would go in the lower control arms. Do you drill a small hole in the a-arm and then screw the fitting in?? After a couple days go by and this thread (with info on Del-a-Lum bushings) gets bigger I'll most likely give a yes or no answer as to whether Im in or not. Later..

Here is a pic of of Del-A-Lum bushing kit for my 87.
I bought these to use on my car, but first I'm going to reverse engineer them, make a few changes and hopefully improvements, and at some point down the road might produce them for sale.
They are a fairly good design, but anything you get from Global west is way over priced.
FYI-the bushings are not teflon. They are delrin. Hence the name Del (delrin) A-Lum (aluminum)
