I find it funny that the assumption is made that those Ford C-Bushings must allow a lot of flex when most of the Early Bronco guys complain about their lack of flex. That is what led them to first experiment with the Wristed Arms and then later with the extended arms. The longer the radius arms are, the easier job they have of twisting the front axle housing to increase the articulation. Either method increases front articulation, pick your poison.

So a urethane bushing wont flex? You're right thats why they went with longer arms, but longer arms dont allow for more twist, they twist the axle less which increases movement. Or is that what you were trying to say???
