[DeTomaso] stock A arm bushing quaility ?

[B Hower]

Lolita came to me with after market Poly ? bushings.......of which the ID was to be installed over the mounting bolts ( now sleeve/spindle ). Therefore they could be pinched between mounting tabs. I was told by a vendor that they were worse than OEM for handling.  Bud #3400 ( Drive it like there is no tomorrow -- for there may not be ! )

  During the chassis discussion, I discovered the quality of the "stock"
  A arm bushings I just received might be less than desired.

  The frame drawing shows the tabs should be 47mm or 1.850" +0.020/-0.
  I checked 4 of my removed A arms and yes the bushings are 1.850 +/-
  0.005 (the tolerance of quickly checking with calipers)


  However I checked 8 of the 16 new ones  and they were 1.850 +/- 0.50".
    Yes, the ranged from 1.80 to 1.90!


  Did I receive rejects?  L


  Or is this just a car and not rocket science.
