97blkbanshee Posted April 2, 2004 Report Posted April 2, 2004 I need to replace my a-arm bushings. What kind do you recommend ? Which ones will last the longest? I don't really care about the cost I just want the best ones. Quote
erbilabuc Posted April 2, 2004 Report Posted April 2, 2004 the ones that will last the longest are the brass/bronze ones. Forgot what they are made of but its one of those two. They dont wear down like the poly ones do. Quote
Holyman Posted April 2, 2004 Report Posted April 2, 2004 Now my biased opinion. I sell bearings for the A arms. The brass ones will last longer IF you never grease your A arms. Bushings wear out because the grease is pressed out of the wear area and they rely on the grease to allow them to slip. They also wear gradually which helps you get used to a gradually worsening suspension. Bearings roll and so don't wear out UNLESS they get rusty which happens from neglect. I sell the bearings on ebay all the time BUT give BHQ members a $15 discount. Email me if you want to know more... [email protected] Quote
