914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Rear sway bar bushings

Posted by: zen motorcycle Jul 23 2006, 08:53 PM

The bushings on one of my drop links on the rear sway bar died today and the others don't look to good. I see the part on Pelicans site.

My question is that these look like nylon and the one's on my car look like polyurethane are there multiple kinds of bushings that are available, and if so from where?

Thanks

yep. nylon ball cup bushings.

PITA to get into the dog bones...

buy 4 new ones and do em all, and maybe so teh 2 body to bar mount ones also...

Nylon is such a PITA to install, I question the possibility of successfully installing polyurethane.

I don't mind nylon, but it just looks like poly so I wanted to keep the upgrade if possible. Or should I just go Nylon regardless of what the PO has in there

boiling water and hot dog bones are your friends...
