well, the rear lower arms were getting a tiny bit sloppy at the bulkhead hinge, and at the hub hinge, so i looked into ordering new hubs, but there is no hub on the market with hinge bearings. well, during brake maintenance, i noticed that the brake cam bearings are the same inner dia as the hinge pin, and i had an epiphany. so i ordered a 10-pack of flanged 6x10x3 bearings and started drilling with a 3/8" bit, careful not to get too deep, then pressed them in place. i successfully installed bearings in the bulkhead and hubs. now she's stiff and smooth, and the arm action is flawless with zero play. i should have done this mod years ago. i recommend this mod to anyone running stock bulkhead/hubs!
