Yup - the bush IN the bar. CPT uses sphericals in the arm.

yes. i originally had Kmacs all around. and having to explain how to use them to the alignment

shops and getting them done properly was a pain. i then replaced the bottoms with the Forge arms...and was getting alot of corrosion on the threads, etc because of the NE winters. i moved those to the top and added CPT stainless versions to the bottom. that's my setup now.

oh yeah, I remember that you were having alignment issues.

Is it possible to get the Forge arms coated so that it does suffer any more corrosion?

unless they changed their painting to powercoat. CPTs are, definitely and seems to weather

much better than the Forge. my Forge arms look like my old OEM arms to the tee. rust is the same places...although i was getting worried about corrosion where it counts...in the adjustment area (bolts and threads). i think the last alignment place said forget it and that's where i had alignment issues. all is better now.
