Default Suzuki Kingquad 700cc Rear A-arm bushing failure

This is in addition to my posting of 5/3/06 on same subject. Both the inboard and outboard bushings on both side have failed. You need to grasp the tire at the top and pull it back and forth. The tire will move up to 1" and you can see movement at the inboard a-arm bushing where it attaches to the frame. The bushing at the wheel is harder to see. Called Suzuki and their response was that the vehicle was out of warranty. We have had four Kingquads in our group with failed bushings. Mileage ranging from less than 2,000 mi. to 5,900 mi. That is four machines out of five. The fifth quad only has 400 mi.

Anybody out there with the same problem? I would like to hear if you do.

I have not had the problem but there has been some very good information shared about a fix for this on the NYROC site. Also WCRP makes a set of oil lite bushings for the King now and they are around $159 for the complete set of bushings and pins, front and rear.
Thanks
David
NYROC link to the information on the fix.

Thanks for the info. The cost for just the bushings and pins for the rear, upper A-arms was $138. I will pass the info on to my buddies that have had the same problem.
