The rubber bushings are crap. And they are $7 *each* at the dealer. Multiply that by the 8 of them that you need, and you're talking more than $60 after tax. Ridiculous.

Go to O'reilly Auto Parts, and get the Energy Suspension polyurethane universal stabilizer link bushing kit (don't get the full link kit, just the bushings). Comes with 8 bushings and washers, costs $13 for the whole thing after tax, and works just fine. I stacked the washers it came with on top of the stock washers since the bushings were a little thinner, but probably still didn't need to do that.

Poly lasts a LONG time also, much longer than rubber.

 

what machine is this for. Will these work for an xp

 

It's for a 2007 Sportsman 500 EFI. I don't see why it wouldn't. The parts are cheap enough where it doesn't hurt to try, and looking at my Clymer manual, they look the same.

 

Is this the kit you are refering to?
