Guessing these are not good?

Useable or trash? thanks

Looked ok to me until the video started playing. There should be a big toothed lock washer there too. I had an entire chassis with all the running gear but scrapped it a year ago.

@Reamer Even though I can see grease in your photo, lack of regular lubrication/greasing is the big killer of weasel suspension bolts and bushings. Standard Studebaker suspension bushings can be used in 3 out of four weasel suspension components with some machining needed for the two suspension arm bushings. The standard Studebaker suspension bushings are a direct fit into the spring eyes. Unfortunately the suspension rocker arm bushing, as shown in your photo is a unique weasel part. Attached are some photos that better explain. Before discarding your original suspension bolts for new replacement bolts, I would recommend test fitting them in new bushings. As in my case I was able to reuse some original suspension bolts fitted into new suspension bushings. Keep us posted. Cheers.

do you happen to have a part number? looking up "Studebaker steel bushing" comes up with bushings with rubber inserts.

@Reamer You are right, the civilian part number is elusive nowadays. Here are two links that I have found in the short time I had that makes mention of this bushing;

@Reamer I finally found the listing and the suppliers part name for you. Unfortunately they are out of stock;

Here is another photo that I found showing the four bushings together.

Since most of these bushing are unobtainable and the ones that are available are way overpriced. I made my own from the original Studebaker drawings, see my restoration thread: 

 

[Reamer]

thank you OZM, so they are all the same ID and OD? makes sense. Know I see the cutting on the lathe "to Fit"

[Reamer]

What material Specification would be required to make trunions?
