Simply a question stemming from curiosity: how do the rubber suspension bushings in autos actually work? Which surface is the rubbing surface? I have looked at many, and it seems to me that they mostly stretch the rubber through the limited angles of motion they see in actual operation. They work well without lubrication, in all kinds of nasty dirt, and last a long time.
