[TheForge] Trailer bushings

The entire hanger kit is 22.00 from me and at most 27 or 28 dollars from
anyone else.  If you have removed the nuts and bolts which are self locking
you might as well throw them away, they are grade 8 or better and 9/16" in
diameter for a good reason.  The hanger kits come with all new bolts, new
rocker arms, and side plates.  I own a trailer fab shop and i have never
known anyone to sell just the inserts because if you have worn trough them
and rounded out the hole to an oblong shape you have jeopardized the
integrity of the rocker arm.
