(and i used some copper anti seize for lube)

here's a pic of how the bushing moved.


i currently have a bit of a shimmy up front when braking at higher speeds...(65-80MPH) i think its a warped rotor, brake deposits, and / or poor tires though, not any powerflex bushing or any of the new suspension parts up front... i think i drive her to hard sometimes putting excessive strain on tires and brakes.
