Hi Miles E.
How does the Delrin bushing work? do you use the original brass bushing and
place the Delrin bushing over it? or...
I talk about using a cloth tape (some owners had a problem with putting
tape on the bushing, the friction tape I used was really thick and with the
washer on either end held together well), Neoprene tubing and I have used a
peace of electrical conduit pipe and tried a nylon bushing over the original
brass bushing (each time I removed what was left of the rubber on the
original bushings). The tape had give but held up well in the grease as did
the Neoprene tubing, the Nylon bushing cracked under use, the conduit had no
give, gave the best alignment but never felt right.
But each time my goal was to replace the rubber on the out side of the
original bushings. The original bushing never showed any wear it was always
the rubber that failed. I guess what I am trying to say is, that this is a
frequent problem brought on by time and not just use. So for any Honda 600
owner working on your steering because the steering wheel moves three inches
before the wheels turn, fix your steering rack before it causes you more
problems. If Delrin bushings are the way to go, lets get them on the shelf.
