That Kimpex bushing doesn't look right. It doesn't have a lip. Maybe it's for the ski spindle?

The Oilite bushings usually come complete in a kit. If you can find one for a Phazer, it will fit the VL/MP. May be getting hard to find. Didn't see one in the RD catalogue or on Ulmer's site. Check this thread for possible sources:

Phazer Oilite A-Arm Bushing Kit Discontinued

I placed an order for one of the Oilite A-arm bushing kits with Yamaha Canada. I just received a message that this kit SMA-8GCFR-KT-00 has been discontinued. I'm disappointed that such an essential part would be discontinued. I would be understanding if it's a backorder issue but it doesn't seem...

Sorry, are these two different kits (with different benefits) that will fit the 07 VL? Thank you

The Schmidt Bros is for the lower linkages at the inner tie rods that is a design flaw and the Ulmer is for the ski bolt bushings which usually the original thin metal ones fail and make the ski loose in the spindle.

Check with Ulmer for the ski bushings as I just remembered that the VL's are wider than the Phazer's. Not sure if the Nytro's would work.
