I know Powerflex makes replacement bushes...
https://www.powerflex.co.uk/road-ser...Bush/2146.html You'd want to do all four if you went down this path. https://www.powerflex.co.uk/road-ser...Bush/2146.html There may be other suppliers of the OEM bush too, like Meyle etc.

I have powerflex going into mine. The OEs are shot so no sense in replacing them with the same stuff. Don't want to go back in there again

If the OE part lasted 10+ years, so will a new OEM/OE replacement. I'd just put one of those in knowing it'd never need redoing. But I left my buckboard days back a bunch of years with my lowered '76 2002 with Bilstien Sport shox and cut springs. YMMV etc.

OP - Or anyone else...
What are the symptoms of bad swingarm bushings? I've replaced all of the integral links, control arms, and ball joints on the rear but the rear camber and toe are still awfully out of spec. Last edited by SunnyDaze; 10-02-2017 at 04:46 PM. |

That's a symptom of bad swing arm bushings. One of the bolts in the swing arms is used to set the toe.
