Does anyone make an aftermarket a-arm bushing for the Pro-Ride chassis?
Like an oil-lite or anything better that the stockers?

Aftermarket A-Arm bushings?

I keep my ear to the rail more than most.... and really have not heard of the bushings on the a arms being an issue.
What is it that you are looking to improve over the stockers?
Heck... most of the afermarket mfgs re-use the stock bushings.

Mine are actually fine on my sled with only 200 miles. I'm coming off a Doo where the bushings are similar material and seem to get sloppy pretty fast and I assumed these would be the same way. There are some aftermarket companies that make replacement oil lite bushings for Ski-Doo.
I am going to narrow my front end and figured if there was a better quality bushing available, now would be the time to install. Seeing the billet steering blocks with oil lite bushings advertised on here sparked my curiosity.*

1700 miles on mine and the stockers were really floppy spent 20 bucks for new stockers Tightened it right up.

Aftermarket PRO / RUSH A-arm bushing link
In the last month there was a guy who talked to a company Super Dave's? An ATV company back East that was going into production of better bushing for the Rush / PRO sleds. I probably subscribed, I'll look it up and update this post with the

bushing
I could make the bushing out of oillite or delrin if any one is interested let me know will work up a price in next day or two if there is a demand for them. I have been making bushings for cat some time now and think the Polaris one would be an easier set if there is a market for them

I sent you a PM about a year ago about machining them for the Polaris and you never answered. Count me in for about ten sets if they are at a comparable price point to your Cat bushings.
I would take a set.

My 13 sba is sloppy too. Pro has some also. I'll take two sets if you make them. How about work on a better ski to spindle rubber so the ski doesn't collapse. Lol 
Diamond S looks like they have them for there arms, size?

Bushings
I can make the Pro bushings out of Delrin for $75 a set shipped. I am working on pricing the oillite and finding a supplier. I can make them, I just don't know where I'll be on pricing yet. I'll update as soon as I find a reasonably priced supplier.

Delrin is fine with me. Post up when they are ready and I'll get my ten sets on the way. Thanks
If you are going to make them...make them with the best material..use a "super bushing" material like MDS Filled Nylon, Delrin-AF or Kevlar Nylon.
Easy to machine... and holds dimension very well.
As a bushing material... far superior to normal Delrin.
Also, the pivot shaft bolted to the bulkhead that the a-arms pivot on is anodized aluminum... not sure it will hold up to oillite for too long. (diff than the doo)
