I don't see an OBS application listed on Global West's website.

Wonder if something from another application would crossover?

You could order some and have them incorporated into some tube arms.

also many dirt track shops use a bushing like that for suspension. they do transfer alot of road vibration.

short of that the very best all around suspension bushings are energy suspension graphite impregnated polyurethane.

ask sweetnlow, he has some adjustable tube arms with heims. they have no bushing at all.

you could contact these guys. they have quite the selection, if you dont see your vehicle call them and they can put something together for you.

I put Global West bushings in a Camaro I built a few years back. They are noisy and transmit alot of vibration, but manoman with performance oriented front end specs that car felt incredible.... I'd do it again in a minute. I like them alot better than poly. I bet GW would have something or would be willing to make them for you. Even if its a few bucks extra it would still be worth it.

They don't have anything that will crossover. Didn't seem too interested in helping either.........

Just another idea I was tossing around anyways.:tongue:

I wouldn't think they would be too hard to make if you have any machinist buddies. Aluminum shell, delrin insert and a steel sleeve through the center of it all. You could get the measurements off a parts store bushing...

Yeah, that crossed my mind. I've already got too many one off parts.:cussing:
