Bushing Info
(OP)
I want to make some suspension pivots on a project of mine using bronzed bushings. I am using 7/8" OD X 3/4" ID X 1/2" Long with a 1/8" flange. One on either side of each pivot. My question is what should the clearance tolerance be for the inside between the bushing and pin and the sides between the flange and mounts. I want them to pivot freely with no play. Thank You!

So, what are you lubricating them with?

Make sure you get your bushings and measure them prior to machining the parts. There is a tolerance on the bushings.
