I'm doing an 8.8 swap and have been planning on getting all the tabs made on a water-jet.
At this point, I'm not entirely sure how to spec the diameter for the rear axle bushing tab to produce the required press-fit. I plan on using Ben's/Kaplehenke (alum shell) spherical bushing for this. Does anyone have a diameter spec for stock or some advice on how much smaller to make the tab diameter assuming 3/16-1/4" steel tabs? I read Ben saying that shaving a little aluminum during install is ok - the ptfe inserts are removable so heat/freeze is on the table.
Thanks!
