I would like to know it seems like 2 new machines on the market have rubber bushings, the new grizzly and the AC 500i, my question is are they strong, and will they last a long time. Can they take alot of abuse. I have heard that your lucky to get 5 years out of them. I'd like to know some more info, if anyone has some.
Thanks

 

They appear to last a long time as they don't move in the housing only twist. You can actually adjust your shock spring rate by loosening the bushing bolts & tighening them at either top or bottom of A-arm stroke to preload the bushing. Make sure to keep bushing bolts tight or they will wear bolt hole oblong.
