Noise? I could be less concerned with noise coming from the a-arm bushings on this car...

+Steel rubbing on steel, at that slow a speed cannot produce too much noise, can it? I'll keep lubricated at all times, to try to reduce this. I'll wrap the assy. with some insulator to keep moisture/possible noise subdued, whatever. In short, noise isn't the biggest concern. I'll let you know if it makes noise, and if lubrication/insulating the area makes a difference.

I'll definately take some pics, trying to meet the deadline at the moment though, track event is next weekend, and right now I have the suspension, steering rack, etc. off the car, engine supported by the oil pan. My mechanic just said I won't be getting the engine hoist until Sunday afternoon, and then I need to make these bushings, (I receive control arms on tuesday), put them in the control arms, on the car, and then get an alignment! Simply put, short on time, very!

What made me get these? Well, every other bushing I've tried gets eaten through, and the control arms end up hitting the subframe, and go through the subframe as well!!! I've got a new subframe right now, and I'm changing the oil pan gasket +lower bearings while I'm at it.

But anybody have anything -/+ to say about using aluminum bushings?
