I have a 2001 500 4x4 scrambler and i had it up on a jack and i noticed that you could push the front left a arm back and forth about an inch. is this normal or did i loose a bushing? And what tools do you need to take tires off rims and put new ones on ? is it easy?
thanxs for any help

 

I think you lost a bushing, check out http://www.partsland.com/ they have real good diagrams showing what was there stock.

 

some tire shops will put your tires on for you. But if you do it yourself, you need a tire iron. It is not the easiest thing to do, especially if you have 6 ply tires. It took my about 1 1/2 hours to put my X/T's on my rims even when useing the tire changing machines at school

 

Yep, sounds like you lost a bushing. Some aftermarket has beefier ones, but I can't think of who at the moment. The same thing happened to me one time and I went back factory, but I would get a better one if possible.

 

The high-strength bushings are available at HPD (hope I got the link right)
