Do they replace the steel shell that takes a shit like WCF's design, or do they simply slide in and replace the rubber like darrell morse/ rodney dickman design?

Replaces the rubber

I've ordered and installed the front two, and would highly recomment them. His quality is excellent, and he ships right away.

Thanks, glad you liked them.

I can make them to replace the steel sleeve, thats really no problem. I just made them to replace the rubber because my sleeves were good. I didnt know that was a problem.

Yeah, the problem is that the complete unit is only as strong as that thin wall sleeve. Even though it may appear to be a tight fit, after some time the gap between the sleeve and the Aluminum would begin to increase thereby making a bad situation even worse.

If you design them to replace the sleeve they will be going NOWHERE - friggen NOWHERE, where's this guy going... NOWHERE

But bare in mind your going to have a bunch of retard colapsing the steel together on the subframe when they beat them in with a hammer, instead of properly pressing them in using hardware to keep the subframe steel in place as you press in the aluminum

I included pics, in my 5.3 thread, on how to do this right, at home, for nearly free. Anything ever starts loosening up, I'll get it welded. And tell everyone on here. But the fit was good and tight.

Well I know what you are talking about with the install part. I ordered a set of the WCF del-alum for the rear control arms. You have to use all the hard ware for those suckers for sure, or you will collapse the arm.

I can make piece to slide into the cotro; arm to make sure you dont screw up the frame too.
