Hotchkis upper a arm

[DamageInc85]

Was wondering if anyone knows if the bushings in these are from a stock application or are they a custom piece?I want to add some low friction bushings,either Afco,or Global West.I tried calling Hotchkis,but they were of no help.Any other forums I could try?

I have these arms and I love them. Why change the bushings? They're a high quality polyurethane. Should last a lifetime. You could always press them out, and measure to see if another style like you mentioned would fit.

Unfortunately, the GW Delalum bushings won't fit the Hotchkiss arms, they're designed to fit stock & GW arms. I'm pretty sure I've seen other brands of Delrin bushings. They might fit. FWIW, no poly bushing lasts a lifetime. People do get very good mileage on them, especially on cars that only get occasional use, but they all turn to mush eventually. Either way, it's not likely to ever be a problem on cars that aren't daily drivers.

I have no experience with these guys, but they custom make Delrin bushings:
