Oil Lite bushings

[nytrobro]

Hi all, I ordered the Kimpex kit and now realise that there are 12.
If anyone has 4 of these in Canada, I would like to purchase them.
Thanks.

I was going to order a set also until I saw there was only 12. Why don't they put 16 in the kit?

I haven't got my kit yet, and am still hoping the picture and description are outdated, and that there is 16 in the pack. I'll confirm when I get it.
Even splitting the cost of a second set and shipping might be the same as a whole kit.

You only need 12 to do the a-arms. 4 on the upper a-arms and 8 on the lower a-arms.

Oops!
You're right.
Thanks for pointing that out.

I just noticed that too.

But those wouldn’t be oilite, oilite won’t last in that location.

i believe the kits I used to buy for the RX-1's and Apex's had oil-lite bushings for those spindles???

The Nytro's have ball joints in the spindles.

Just got the parts in. Do you apply oil before install? Soak they in oil?
I know oil is impregnated in the sintered bronze, but a little extra help maybe?

Install bushing just as you would the stock bushing (ie. no pre-lube required).
