[QUOTE="Steelart99, post: 99280, member: 13479"] I have to replace 6 of these and just wanted to make it "easy" by just welding in something similar to the original bushings. I have lots of other issues with this thing that I'm trying fix and didn't want to have to make these bushings too. I think the flange is simply a way to keep weld heat from locking down the inner hole (i.e., locking down on the pivot pin) and to give the flange a larger surface to ride on. I'd be welding on the 2" diameter instead of at the 1-1/2" diameter location. I could just weld in a short piece of DOM tubing (1-1/2" OD and 1/4" wall) and be done with it. The original stepped/flanged bushing sits in 1/4" plate and the flange was also 1/4" thick. [/QUOTE]
