With only 1400 miles on my 03 RX1 the front suspension arms are loose from wore out bushings. Is there any aftermarket suppliers or replace them with YAMAHA ones. If YAMAHAS ones have they improved them at all?

Yah, the bulkhead bushings are not in Pioneer's kit. Go Figure?
Also, the kit does not include the nylon cupped washers on the ends of the A-Arm's tubes. When they wear, you get extra axial travel along the A-Arm bolt. Actually, you can cut the lips off the old washers and insert them in with the new ones to take up some axial play, if necessary.
Bottom Line: With all the extra parts you need to get to use "the Kit," you might as well just get it all from the OEM dealer. It really does not make sense to me to pay extra for nylatron, and then put in the regular stuff in the other 1/3 of the places. Lessons Learned!
