Alternatives to Laeger a-arm bushings

[broken1]

Was doing a search for bushings because Laeger wants too much for them & found this older thread on atvriders. Hopefully [MENTION=150]Langbolt[/MENTION] can chime in with some info: http://www.atvriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?490863-wtb-laeger-a-arm-bushings

Following this thread I have the older arms that used the smaller ID bushings

If you can measure the ID of the A-Arm....and the OD of the crush pins....you can find the size in the Bunting Catalogue......any Bearing supplier can get them and they're very cheap.



Here's an example page of the Oil Impregnated Bronze Flange Bushing

Wonderful information. Thanks guys

There's more to a bushing. ID,OD x2, shoulder width and OAL

Hate to say it but bearings are this way as well.

Oil impregnated bushings never last from personal experience in the working world a solid bushing with grease fittings last longer.

Does the Pivot Works kit not work? You would need two kits at $79.99 but it has all the seals, bushings and spherical bearings. Laeger's kit is $250.

The pic on the website is a generic image but I took one of a kit we have here in KY with the three pieces I'm referring to.

The pivot works kit you have posted is for OEM arms. All or at least most all aftermarket a-arm makers use a bushing, bearing or heim system thats different than stock.

I'm almost 100% sure this is what I used when I put new ones in my Laeger a-arms. I know I didn't get them from Laeger so I'm not sure where else I would have gotten them from. Good luck in your search though.

Any new developments?
