I ordered some summit bushings and they had corrosion on the bushings so I sent them back. So I ordered some from chris and they came in THE EXACT BOX and had THE EXACT DIRECTION SHEET as the summit ones. The Straub trunnions did look smoother than the summit brand. and no corrosion

Anyone ever see a failure of the Texas Speed rockers? https://www.texas-speed.com/p-6147-t...oller-tip.aspx
I have a set I was going to install, but if they use the same trunions as Comp and GM, I think I'd rather upgrade now than have issues down the road...
If so..
Would Straub or CHE kits work on my Texas Speed rockers?

interesting that u says this... I have yet to hear any negative feedback on straub kits till now. I put 1k on my car this summer and that’s 1k of beating on it every chance i get. I drained 3 qts and found nothing in the oil. 10w30 mobil 1 synthetic and purolator filter.

The first oil change after trunnion bushing installation COULD show some bronze particles from the bushings wearing off any possible rough or sharp edges. It does not happen all the time, and nothing to worry about.
