Pivot tubes

I got to changing out my tie rod ends earlier and decided I'd go ahead and change out my bushings too. I've previously just lightly sanded any corrousion off and put the old tubes back in. Should I be changing those out everytime I change the bushings or every few times? Just checking to see what everyone else does. My dealer has told me to just do what i've been doing and I've stuck to it.

Use Super Daves bushings:, much better than stock. Only need to replace the tubes if they are corroded. Have installed zerks on the rear hubs? That greatly improves bushing life. If I still used a conventional style front arm with bushing I'd install zerks on them also. Just my two cents.

I have to change mine every 2 or 3 times that I do the bushings. Check your frame tabs were the a arms bolt on. Mine are wearing down alot and I had to weld them to get some thickness back.

I just changed mine last month with 500 miles on the ride. Question, how many miles are on yours with this kind of wear? I plan to start switching over to Super Daves as I have the money available going forward.

That was some wear between 800-1000 miles on the frame and 500 -+ on the bushing tubes
