Rebuilding Watts Linkage

Then it was on to rebuild the Watts linkage with the poly kit from Performatek. I had noticed that it would hang at a weird angle when the rear of the Dedion was lowered. Well, all bushings were shot, and the bushing at the Watts center had squeezed out (forward) and the center was all loose.

Pics.
1. The old Watts center bushing.
2. One of the old Watts rod end bushings.
3. New poly bushings pressed in.
4. The Watts linkage center with new poly bushings.

A press certainly makes this rebuild a breeze.
