Front End Bushing Kits

[FCR112]

What do you all think? Delrin or Aluminum for replacement with the stock arms?
Whose got any experience with different manufacturer's/styles/cost
Also wondering how well they take a hit? I am hoping they don't turn into metal dust like the stockers...

Want to make a smart buy, Thanks!

I bought the AC lightweight bushing kit, so far so good and they are a lot cheaper!

You havent seen the new "light weight" bushings from Cat then! Real nice complete kit for $60 made out of an alloy of some sort.

 

[blackcloud2k]

Nope I have not. Have heard about it but never seen the set up in person.

Do the 09 and 2010 models already have the lightweight bushings?

if your cheap like me just cut off the part of the bushing that you see between the a-arm and spindle and add washers. when i got my 07 broke the originals 1st ride out and couldn't get any. cut the ends so they would be flush with the end of the spindle and added the washers to take up the space between the spindle and a-arm. has worked ever since, so can't see changing it now...

I use the Delrin ones made by a Snowest Member who's name escapes me.

n2o, I just went back and found it. The user who makes them is "bparks" and it's a complete set for the front end and well priced too!

I used a set from him on my last sled, it was well built & fit well. Bill makes good stuff.

And how do they compare to MPM's kit?
