2009 yamaha nytro ball joint play

[yamaha06]

Well im getting the nytro ready for the season, I lifted the front of the sled off the ground, and there is a little play in the a arm bushings, but not then I lift up and down only when I push the aarm toward the sled and pull back towards the front. The ball joints have a little play when I lift up and down but again not very much at all were talkin like 1/32" or so. I may end up putting in oillite bushings I'm not sure yet but do you think its really necessary to change the ball joints and bushings when there is such little play, I'm new to all this so just looking for some advice the sled has 3000km on it, thanks guys.

My crap factory bushings had play in them from day 1.

Get the oilites. Ball joints can probably wait but, if your going to tear it apart for oilites, I would do the ball joints too.

And for the balljoints, go with the brass ones from SledToyz:

Way better than the OEM stuff.

Oh really I will have to look into that, are they just for the bottom ball joints? Any aftermarket stuff for the top?

No, nothing for the upper balljoint but someone here did adapt a heim joint

Haven't seen much discussion beyond that.
