Spherical "Bushings"

[lateapex911]

So.....

IF we accept that we can change the material ONLY, that means that we can take out a suspension bushing that is, say, metal sleeved in and out and rubber in between, (aka metal/rubber/metal) and replace it with....SOMEthing else...of the exact same size, and design.

So, that could be what...metal/rubber/and metal, right?

Because,if we, say......... replace it even with metal/polyurethane/metal, (or steel/aluminum/steel), using obstensibly the same dimensions and design, the arm will not move in the same X,Y, Z range of motion, which means a design change, as the function has been altered.

Right?

Seems to me the entire rule is a catch 22.

(I think/know this has been written here in earlier posts, but I just needed to sum it up.)

It seems to me that what we have is merely a poorly written rule that has issues under a microscope. Essentially, it is a rule, that, if followed to the letter of the law, allows you to do.......nothing.

IMHO this encompasses most rules.
