I remember for a completely different project a few years ago I came across an explanation of "galvanic corrosion". The idea being that some metals cause corrosion simply from being in contact with each other. (I was interested in stainless steel plates being screwed to galvanised steel hinges, which was apparently a very bad idea.) Is there any possibility that bronze bushings are coming into contact with some other metal that causes corrosion and that corrosion is then rubbing away at the steel shaft?

I don't claim to know enough about the chemistry involved to say whether it is possible or not, but it sounds like it might be. Anybody know for sure?
