New a-arm bushings: Which is brand to use/best for the $$??

[Maxout01]

Well the whole front end is now dismantled.

The stock ones were so bad in the bulkhead that they were maybe 1/8 there, more then 90% of the were totally gone. And i dont mean gone as in just shot, they were literally not there.

Bulk head looks great, as does everything else. The sled has 3,000 miles on it.. pretty ridiculous from yamaha for sure.

I've read all the threads and still dont understand something. Ulmers kit comes with more bushings then pioneer perfs kit, WHAT ARE THE ONES PIONEER PERF DOESNT COME WITH THAT ULMERS DOES?????

Pioneer has a separate kit for the bulkhead bushings, which is 8 pieces. both kits 24 bushings.
Get one of there catalogs, its only 12 pages , and its free.

Does this mean the other bushings are more apt to wear out sooner/worse than the bulkhead bushings?

Not really, its just the way he sells the kits. A arm bushings are one kit. Bulkhead bushings are a separate kit, and spindle bushings are a separate.

Ok thanks for clearing that up. I'm going with ulmers kit. I have used oilite bushings before with excellent results on my skidoos and i think they are the best for money after some research.

Also I do not see how anyone can get just one kit, all my bushings are terrible in the whole front end at 3,000 miles so i cant see anyone tearing the front end down just to do half the job, lol!
