I don't know the exact affect of the radially soft bushings, but I do know they're there. Perhaps it's to address the toe-out-when-braking problem.

You can see that from Chicago, eh?? You must have extraordinary vision

Frere(who got his info from the factory) says the same as what I posted, I get my info from the factory training docs.

here's a page


only the KT link(item #5) is particularly elastic.


of course all the bushes are somewhat elastic.
