    Use a fiber one, draw a line down the center, cut it in half and put one in each end and match the lines!..All bushings wear, how hard you run it depends on how long they last, and also the closer the v-drive is lined up the longer the bushing lasts, a properly balanced prop helps too!.. Just part of maintenance!..

    :jawdrop: "OLBARON" Fix your carb, make it go. Then play with the rest....And put the prop back on till spring!!!! Maybe the water will be up enogh to get it off the trailer..... :hammer2:

    my 0.02 cents worth. Turkite is the best material for strut bushings period.it's a little pricey but they will last for years. very wear resistant material. i can make them for one inch shafts.

    But what does it do for the propshaft?, bushings are nothing to replace but don't want to be wearing out the shaft!...

    never has galded a shaft that i know of. it is a brittle plastic like stuff outside of the strut but very tough when it comes to wear .they just don't wear out

    I've gone through a lot of fibers ... switched to Delrin (a hibrid plastic made by DuPont) ones from RBR ... best I've ever seen or ran ...
