    Greasable Control Arm Bushings

    Well i have been knees deep into this Cat Front End. Wow I couldn't believe how much play was in the Bell Crank. This sled has 6000 KM on it and the bushings didn't look that bad just oversized.

    Looks like the 638 did its job. Did you drill the divots on a new axle shaft, or was that your preventative repair? That axle looks like it's in good shape.:)
