Front skid shock lower bushing

[Upstater57]

turbo flash does exactly same as i have done several times... with exception of the grease nipple, ... the spray graphit on the cross country steel shaft wrks great.... like i said just polish the shaft and put o ring either side and do a washer between the shortened spacer pipes.and o ring

The steel shaft is the key. The stock aluminum shaft will always wear.

I ordered some different bushings and different material.

In the end, I am going to try this set up. It gives me an extra 1/4 inch of bushing material on the shaft.

I cut the bushing to size, added a bit of grease in the center and the fit was perfect. We will see how it holds up.

What type of material did you source for the bushing and where did you source it from? It looks like a good fit.

I used a oil impregnated brass bushing
I had to trim them a bit.
