ok cool thanks guys now my next question. Right now my front a arm bushings are gone they a arms move alot as in you can actually see them move if you grab the tire. I have heard of people for a cheap fix getting nylon blocks and drilling out the size they need for the bushing and using them for a while and my dad said he has done it and it worked has anybody ever heard of this if so or not what do you guys think about it?

 

[yamarider]

I never heard of anything like that being done before. I can't picture how that would work though. How would you "drill" them out to fit inside the a-arm pivot? I can't think of any easy or cheap way to do it.

Do a search on ebay. You can get complete bushing kits for dirt cheap.

This was just the first thing that came up in the search, without looking around much. $30 shipped for all 16 bushings.

Get a nice set of Delron bushings on ebay. I think i paid like 18 bucks shipped from a company called desert sand or something. But anyway it will be cheaper and less time consuming that drilling out nylon to a perfect size and etc.

what these guys have already said -Ebay it!!! Doing it right will cost the same (or less)-but will save hours of trying to make it work

The pivot works kits are very nice, a bit more money, but their's are needle bearings, not bushings.

 

[yamarider]

I'd rather have bushings than bearings personally, especially when they're mounted on a low point on the quad like that, and without good seals to keep them clean and dry. Then when you consider it's about $160 for the set of bearings, vs less than $30 for bushings that will probably last longer and require less maintenance, it should be a no brainer.
