Are you talking about the ski bolt bushing? Ulmer sells new bushings for that too, tightens them up just like the a-arm bushings.

The plastic one? Those are easy to remove, just break them. Try to take out the ulmer ones, now those are a pain in arse to take out.

Removing the factory ski bolt bushings is a pain in the arse. Look for the seam in them, the try to stick a small screwdriver or thin chisel between the bushing and the spindle. Eventually you can pry up the entire bushing on one side of the seam and pull it out with a needle nose pliers. Installing news ones, smaller threaded rod with some washers and a little extra caution. Piece of cake!!

Nevermind my last post, I was thinking the a arm bushings for some reason
And yes those spindle bushings are a pain to get out for sure! I ended up using a hacksaw blade to cut them, then use a screwdriver to pop them out.

Scott at OFT has some bushings for the bottom of the spindles. I got a set from him. They really tightened up my front end.
