COMMENTS: Per Robart, the bushings belong in the housing where the air cylinder
            was placed. They say it offsets a tendency of "binding" the gear
            legs.
          There is a gentleman now making longer struts for this kit which will
            work with a 4" wheel, for a more scale appearance.
