Oilite Bushings

[wshellrider]

Looking to replace my a arm bushing this summer. Where did you order from? I see OFT and Ulmers have them but there appears to be a substantial price difference...?

I got mine at Ulmers. They come with a-arm,spindle,and bulkhead bushings. Some I have seen sell the bulkhead bushings separately. Check the description, that might be the difference. They are well worth the money IMO. I have an 06 and they tightened up the front like new. I also replaced the steering bushings. Good thing to do at the same time. FYI, I have an Apex so not sure of nytros.

Got mine from yamaha. Up here that was my cheapest way to get them.

I was wondering the same thing, Stevieu, you are saying that the A-Arm kit comes with the $35 ski spindle kit?

Look at pioneers web site, they are marked half price, I just ordered them and skid bushings last week

When I did my nytro I bought them off ebay from a company out of Ontario...Shipped to the door was a little over 85.00....

Are the Nylatron bushings on Pioneers site just as good as the oilite bushings?

Again,mine were for an Apex. My kit came with bulkhead,a-arm, and spindle bushings. Just call Ulmers and ask to be sure. I just checked the site. Apex kits come with all front bushings. ($135). Looks like you buy the nytro ones separate. Don't know why they don't have a full kit for the nytro.

I've never used the nylatron ones. My skid bushings were fine when I took it apart. Don't know if anyone makes oillite for the skid.

I have the Pioneer front ones on my XTX and the front is still very tight. I am very hard on my sled with lots of jumps and ditch banging. I was worried when I bought them but no problems. Have had them on two years now. Price was right for me.

I can't believe that Yamaha makes such a bad bushings for their sleds. Even the Nytro with the grease fittings wont last! I will get some oilites too to my Nytro TTX. Already too much play in the front!

Go with the Pioneer performance nylatrons. They work awesome and are easier to install then the oilites.
