<\/a><\/p>\nB.

\nrials (except metal) as long as they \ufb01 t in the original location. Off-
\nset bushings may be used. In a replacement bushing the amount
\nof metal relative to the amount of nonmetallic material may not be
\nincreased. This does not authorize<\/strong> a change in type of bushing (for
\nexample ball and socket replacing a cylindrical bushing), or use of
\na bushing with an angled hole whose direction differs from that of
\nthe original bushing<\/strong>. If the Stock bushing accommodated multi-axis
\nmotion via compliance of the component material(s), the replace-
\nment bushing may not be changed to accommodate such motion
\nvia a change in bushing type, for example to a spherical bearing or
\nsimilar component involving internal moving parts. Pins or keys may
\nbe used to prevent the rotation of alternate bushings, but may serve
\nno other purpose than that of retaining the bushing in the desired
\nposition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
