Default castor arm poly bushings

Hi guys

Just wanted to let everyone know that while searching I found castor poly bushings for very good price. Cheaper alternative to figs.

http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=151801550407&alt=web

Would cost around 70 usd I believe.

I found them recently and will be ordering for my sc.. the daizens I had in the control arms were very good but the castor arm one was not really a proper design in my opinion it was a bit to solid.. there was not really any pivot point for the center cylinder.

These seem to be very well designed and look very functional.

The castor bushings in the SC go bad pretty fast and cause wandering wheels.. it can actually be quite dangerous.

Anyhow thought I'd share

Keep in mind the SC430 uses a larger OD bushing than most GS400's so yuou need to be clear which bushing you are getting. We also offer a lifetime warranty with no exclusions. I would challenge you to get the same from a Russian seller. We keep them in stock and you get them in 2-3 days.

Mike,

there is no doubt that you have the best bushings. I know someone who has them and in many threads I have spoken about yours as the daizen castor bushings don't have a pivot in the middle etc...


however I posted this here as a help for those who cant afford yours or prefer a cheaper alternative, no other reason.

Thanks for providing more details.

I just clicked on the link in your signature block and Facebook said it could not find you.

Do you have a website?

I would like to look over the bushings you offer for the lower control arms no.1 and no.2, along with the rack and pinion bushings and front/rear sway bar bushings.

Hey Mike,
Your product looks first class all the way, I am looking at the SC430 lower control arm no.1 and no.2.
Are these press in or are they two piece?
Thanks

The #1 arm is a 2-p design that will install with hand pressure. The #2 bushing is a 3-P design that has the critical section pressed into the arm and 2 locating snubber bushings top and bottom.
