If axle bushings can be self-aligning, they can be self-mis-aligning, and the aim here is to reduce friction or the risk of binding as far as possible. So off with the self-aligning bushing claws...

     

   

...and on with the push fit (and to be glued later) oilite bushings...

   

This was just a first dry fit test. A bit more rubbing down of the pod required to smooth off the last remnants of the claws.
