Bob, I am unfamiliar with =E2=80=9Cda bomb=E2=80=9D, but presume it =
means they are good (aka pukka, the bees knees, bonza, etc.), If so, =
where are these replacements designed by Eric Grunden available? My =
throttle bush is worn and it was on my list to replace this winter.

Wow! That's going the extra parsec. I looked mine over when I =
reinstalled the engine at 208K miles, and they were fine. I replaced =
one, but it wasn't because of wear; I managed to screw something up. I =
put a little grease in the sockets, but that was the first time.
What really wears is the throttle cross-shaft bushes (brass/rubber; =
brass was OK, rubber was shot); the new nylon/teflon--I've seen them =
called both--replacements designed by Eric Grunden are da bomb.

A drop of oil now and then is a good idea on any car bar when ball =
sockets are nylon/plastic.
