The bushings are completely gone and the holes are elongated. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

A machine shop installed hardened steel bushings and bored and reamed them out to standard. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2020 Posts: 69 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2020 Posts: 69 | That's a really good idea! I have to take them off anyway, might as well stop by and see if the local shop could do that or has any other ideas.

Done in half an hour for both! I appreciate the ideas, I was tunnel visioned into finding a new hanger rather than trying to get the old fixed. Should've asked here a week ago.
