The installation of the wet bolt kit totally reworks the way the bolts and bushings interact. It becomes a decent working system.
And to think all of this kit including the wet bolts could have been installed at the factory adding a couple dollars to the cost. Building stuff that is starting to fail (plastic bushings) in 3000-4000 miles is just ridiculous. I changed mine out at around 3500 miles and the plastic bushings were already showing major wear.
Not only the extra parts cost, there is the extra labor to press in the bronze bushings.
When you are talking a couple bucks on 1,000's of units it makes a big change on the bottom line.
