Crapy a-arm bushings...

Is anyone having problems with their RZR a-arm bushings???? Well I was looking through our sponsors web site and found something I would like to try. Has anyone tried Racer Techs kit???? Looks like a possible cure...

The Stock Bushing are Junk...I bought a set of Delrin and put in mine 800 miles ago. They work great....no more slop!

I believe we could find the weak spot on an anvil. seems no matter what brand you buy there is a list of upgrades needed. ohh well thats part of the fun isn't it?

get some from utv crap

There is a lot of truth to your statment. However, I have slop in my front a-arms after 200 miles. That is unacceptable!!!!!!!

The rhino last about 2000 miles.

roadiestar, UTV Crap is WAYYYYY overpriced
Ronnie, I wonder if that 820 Big-Bore kit will work in you Rhino?

The UTV crap bushing are holding up a lot getter than the stock ones. Price was $4.00 each was the same as stock.

$230.00 bones???? Damn.

i just ordered the stock bushings for the S. 1000miles and they are just now starting to get loose on the lower front arms. im going to run the factory ones another 100 or so miles before i change them.
i got all the bushings to do front and rear for around 70 bucks.

Dang bush! 1000 miles! Must be the talent level thing going on here cause I only got 500 miles and Big-R only got 200 miles.

Is this okay with you guys. It is not with me. Hell they should last longer then that

Don't get me wrong. I love my machine but I should not have to replace bearings and bushings after a 1000 miles. I am not just talking about the RZR. The Rhino was not great about bearings. But my A-arm bushings last two years.

RZR-1500 miles, sell it........................

Just a quote from someone whos owned 3 RZR's........Not me, but he knows what he's talking about.......

I sure hope I get more than 1500 miles out of mine.

is it ok with me. not really. 1000 miles is not bad but 200 there has to be something that caused them to go bad. my rhino would go through 2 sets of bearings a summer. and bearings are much more $$$ than the bushings on the rzr and the rhino bearings are a pain in the ass to change. i had to change the front bearings on my LE rzr at around 1300 miles and was much easier to change.
you also have to look at what these things go through. i know mine goes through hell every time i ride it. all the mud and water,sand and the bushings move a lot more on the rzr than a rhino because you can go much faster in the rough trails because it has more power and rides much better.

I have to agree with Bush. Nothing is bulletproof. And with RZRS the longer A-arms there would be more leverage on the bushings.
