What's the thing with bronze bushings? Bronze is a bit softer than steel .. is it supposed to wear less? Take mud and build-up better?
Softer, won't wear away the steel that rubs against it. Holds oil; presumably porous. Won't rust. Good for solid/strong mounting of things that need to move but don't spin fast.
