I have no doubt that they do add 'some' stability vis a vis "flagpoling" but......in the event that a pinblock would move enough to crush all the bushings to the point of affecting the block movement there are much more severe problems with that block than any amount of bushings could even begin to address............. "folk lore" and "common knowledge" notwithstanding. :-) Jim Bryant (FL)
