They wear out too soon. There are some Poly-graphite bushings I would look at as long they have some sort of warranty. Maybe PST has American Parts: https://p-s-t.com/c-1176072-suspension-suspension-components-polygra... Edited by mstrug 2018-10-21 9:34 PM | ||

Veteran Posts: 154 Location: Locked in my Canadian garage.... | mikes2nd - 2018-10-22 9:28 PM i got moog and acdelco. I think everything is made in china... Moog parts are made all over the world now, same part number parts can be US or China or Germany or... I'm not a fan of PST parts, and have no interest in polygraphite bushings. Pulled so many out for friends I can't tell ya! I'll try Moog/ACDelco and see what I can find out I guess. Thanks! | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 371 | Moog/TRW are my choice. But yeah finding true US made is tough if not impossible. I don't even think Energy Suspension is totaly US made anymore. For something to be labled Made In America I think it has to be at least 80% American produced content. But now a days just about everything is "made from global components". To me that is a blanket statement just like something is "universal". Heck the NAPA gold label bushings are either Moog or TRW. I have a Moog master catalog that goes back to like 1902 if someone wants factory part numbers. Believe it or not them numbers if not stll active can crossed to now. | ||

Veteran Posts: 154 Location: Locked in my Canadian garage.... | Moog can be made in many different countries now. Until the box is in front of me I have no idea where they are sourced! Crazy My buddy suggested ProForged. I have no experience with ProForged | ||
