08 vs 09 front end - oilite bushings

[Dimebag]

Hi,

Are there any differences between the 08 and 09 bushings?

I got a complete oilite kit ready for when my skinz front end arrives,
will they fit?

I got a 09 subframe, and the oilite kit is "08" style.

Thanks.

the sizes are different for the upper a arm ones, i think the 08s are larger than the 09s.

Hmm, ok. Thanks.

Is it the a-arms, or the subframe that makes it different?

Anyone knows which oilite kit that fits the Skinz front end arms ?

09 and up uses the same bushings for the uppers as the lowers. The skinz kit uses the 09 (imo better than the little 08 ones). The sub frames are the same but you will need the 09+ cross shaft for your uppers. I would think you could buy the oilites for just your uppers and use your existing lowers.

Edit: 09+ cross shaft 8HK-23373-00-00 qty 2

If you have the Skinz front end you will need the 2009 oilite bushing kit as well as the 2009-2012 upper a-arm sleeves to fit on a 2008 model.

2008 FX Nytro all models had 8 lower bushings that were the same and 4 upper bushings that were the same.

In 2009 the MTX models used the same setup yet as the 2008 model sleds, but the rest of the models (RTX, RTX SE, XTX, etc) had the a-arms changed which made them all use the same larger bushings in both the upper and lower a-frame locations.

2010, 2011, 2012 all use the larger bushings in all the locations.

Ok,

correct me if Im wrong, but what i need to fit the skinz kit on my 08 with oilites is;

- 4 upper 09 style bushings
- 2 upper a-arm sleeve / cross shaft

Other than that, it is similiar to the 08 setup so I can use the lower bushings from my 08 kit? And it uses the same bolt to fasten the upper arm?

Thanks guys

Correct! Mine's a 08 so I had to do the same with the cross shafts, but it is the same bolt. And yes to the bushing's, now all 12 bushing's will be the same.
