How long do Oilite bushings last?

[SnowBandit]

I have had mine in for about 10,000 miles any idea how long they last or how to tell if they are shot. Do I need to take the whole front end apart to find out?

If you get play in the arms

The bulkhead bushings will be the only ones that will wear out again. Ulmer Racing will sell you just the bulkhead bushings, I had to do this on my first Apex at about 11,000 miles on it! The rest of the bushings were fine, it was just the bulkhead bushings that I had to replace.

Jack up the front end . move the a arms to see if they have play. X2 on ulmers. Did mine 2 yrs ago. Feels like a new sled.

Unbolt the shock from the a arm to really find out how much slop you have.
