okay so i guess waht the screw are for is so the bushings dont move isnide the control arm otherwise it will wear the metal down and become lose, my dad says on all their combines there are things liek it but car wise they have to be tightened in ONLY at the suspension travel's half way point to work most efficient

Is that all that keeps the busing tight in the hole?

well the busings are pressed in with a press, some of the ones i've been looking at dont even have holes for screws, i'd rather be a bit more safer than sorry

Oh...that makes more sense. I was under the impression that once the set screw was out...you could easily remove the bushings.
