Technically yes, But the grub screw is such a bad design, No professional bushing slider uses a grub screw with force applied to stop at bushing from moving or to remove slop from the system. It's just a really bad design and I wanted to not use a grub screw that applies and uneven force to a bearing.
@@jc84com I ended up solving this by ordering better oilless bushings that do not have graphite holes for the set screw to poke through. They are 15mm(3mm longer than stock) and I angle grinded away material so they clear the stock motor bolts. The fit is so snug I don't really need to use the set screw, but I didn't use shims in my setup and the set screw works fine for taking up any small amount of slack that was left. After reassembly it feels substantially smoother with FAR less play in the lower suspension. I didn't change the upper bushings yet, but next time I have the wheel that far apart I'll swap them too.
Thats a pretty cool home workshop and tools you have there mate to make all your ideas become reality!
Absolutely got to have a workshop to be able to build awesome stuff.
I'll try ! Good idea. Could you share the .STL to do the holes ?

@@jc84com thank you !!
So couldn't you solve this by just using the stock grub screw that you decided to not use? Or was that not enough to hold the larger bushing in?

@@jtm94 this is awesome, great alternate solution
Where did you buy the bushings from ?
