Has anyone had any trouble with there front left a-arm bushings? My brass bushing either broke off or was never there and know the plastic one is warped and falling apart. What I need to know is the procedure for replacing them. do I have to remove the whole a-arm or just the bottom bolt.
Please Help!!!!!!

That is how my '99 came, I guess I never noticed it before. I bought it used. It only had 10 hrs. on it when I bought it this year.

Had to replace bushings and spacers on 00' scrambler 500 but because my son hit a stump with the left front If the brass spacer is missing I would suspect the same on yours On impact the A-arm is shoved back crushing the brass Check to see if the inner rod is bent You can just unbolt from the bottom of the strut and then unbolt the a-arm from the frame (2 bolts) there is a tapped rod inside the a-arm quick easy fix 15 min.

Call HPD and order a set of their bronze bushings for $4.50 each.
