Haha my point exactly. Even though, every time I argue with him he reminds me that he wears a master patch on his shoulder and I only wear a tech patch. I guess ASE doesnt certify common sense.

If that's his argument even he knows he doesn't know what he's talking about.

The bushing is not Nylon. It's a composite, and it also has a longer surface area. In the event there is a groove worn into the axle from the bearing. There is also a bushing in the end of the axle where it joins the inner shaft. Same material. Quad 4x4 has all you need.
