Harbor Freight. They're like 140 on sale and they regularly have 20% off coupons. If I had room I'd buy one.

Isn't there a screw that hold them inplace?? I just got a pair the other day, and there are Hex Head bolts on the top of each bushing.

Even if you could, I would rather buy ones I don't have to replace the bushings in every month.

Replace them with oem or energy suspension, blox bushing are not worth it, even if free.

My dad just bought a 20 ton press for 199 ish

true dat but ...this what the customer service told me ... However, we are planning to introduce different bushings with polyurethane. Although this might last longer, this material will be stiffer and more prone to cracking in different weather conditions.

Hmm... I just got my blox LCA's and thought the bushing did look like crap, but was gonna rock them that way until they went bad, but before i put them in, i guess i'll go ahead and replace them with the poly bushings i have sitting at home.
