Wonderful A-Arm Bushings found.

[tnttim]

I found a great set of bushing o use for the assembly of the A-Arms.

 

Rubicon Express Pn# RE3762 with a machined sleeve. There is also an economy model RE3764 with a pressed steel sleeve.

You will get a sleeve and an hour glass shaped bushing. The inner sleeves are 10mm ID and can be punched out to 1/2". The steel sleeve has a ridge in the middle to keep the bushing from slipping.

 

Steel Sleeve dia. is 1.75 and when assembled is 2" wide.

They are a little pricey but worth it. $19.00 ea. for the nice ones.

 

I got mine at Jeeperz Creeperz in Wyandotte, Mi. (734) 281-8141.

Here are a few of the new bushing installed on a set of old ARCA A-Arms I found and am going to use.

I had to use a vise and smooth plate to squeeze the rubber in. A little spit on the rubber and it slides right in. Then just press in the metal bushings. ( Hey look I can weld).

NEW HOTNESS VS OLD AND BUSTED.

That and the old one had some weird size bolt/bushing combo I didnt want to deal with. 1/2" for the new and a lot easier to find hardware. Smaller size and I now know where to get replacments.

Thanks for sharing and documenting for future reference.

Haha, why didn't you guys just ask? That's a very common bushing in the offroad world. Commonly referred to by Rubicon Express as their superride bushings.
