I made it on a lathe. It was a bit tricky getting the length just right so that the end cap did not over or under-preload the bushing/pin axially.

The grooves in the bore and face are for lubrication.

The cap was welded back on taking care to keep it seated square.

Carl - Was it a factory arm that you installed the bushing in?
