Vincent, I overlooked mentioning that the standard strut bar bushings get "crushed- together", into a ball-like mass, when they are tightened-down, during installation. The H.D. bushings (IIRC) are solid-pieces, and REMAIN solid, on either side of the X-member-- the only 'tricky' thing is to install their front steel retaining-cups with the concave section facing FORWARD (which "looks" to be 'wrong'), instead of having the concavity '"enclose/cover" ' the bushing, itself. The concave-forward aspect allows the strut-bar movement to travel around the retaining-cup's concavity, instead of being "restrained" by the 'cup', I believe.
