Just spend a couple hours last night replacing bushings in my 10' blades and man it was worth it. I didn't even realize how much play/sway I had in the poles until I had one side done and compared it to the other.
If anyone is thinking they have too much sway in the poles, get the bushing kit and it will make a HUGE difference!

make sure tension lower pivot bolts about every 100 cycles and you prob wont have to ever change out a set of bushings again
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to keep an eye on that.
