Worn bushings frequently become egg shaped internally and allow too much side-to-side slop. This results in "lost motion" which can weaken the flipper strength.

I also don't understand why other companies don't include the bushings like PBR does. To me, the bushings should always be included in rebuild kits since it is a common wear part.
I have also seen where crud gets inside the bushing and literally gets ground into the plastic and impedes the shaft from rotating as fast as it should.
