[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1349819, member: 3828"] From a structural standpoint, it seems to me that putting a couple of slits in the outer bearing race, and drilling grease paths in the relay arm would cause less weakening of the assembly than drilling the main bolt hollow, and then cross drilling holes in the inner race. The thrust of the suspension is perpendicularly applied to that bolt (as a pin). Hollowing it out would reduce its shear strength significantly. I like the OPs solution better. The only tricky part to doing his version of the mod would be getting the slitted bearings installed aligned properly with the greaseways. [/QUOTE]
