it appears that i have to replace the A-arm bearings on my '87/92 LT250R and have seen the poly bushing kits form TM designworks... has anyone used this kit??? what are your impresssions?

 

I was wondering the same thing I think my R needs new ones too, but the piviot works kits are super high priced. I was looking into getting the tm design works though

 

i have them on my 87 zilla. its not all back together yet so i dont know how good they last. you cant beat the price of them . bearing for my bike are alot of money.just make sure the shafts that go thew them are not worn out and pitted .and you should be fine.

 

I'm pretty sure you have to buy the steel sleeves extra when you get the TM kits, so that does make them fairly expensive. I bought (around $90 complete) a set of poly bushings and steel sleeves from Helm enterprises a few years back and they seem to be holding up really well. I think they have an ad in the back of most of the mags.

 

OR you can get bearing kits from PivotWorks comes complete with bearings, seals and sleeves. But they are $57 per A-arm

I got the original bearings from a bearing shop. Same make and everything. The Bearings were $8 ea and the seals were $2.50, and thats in Canadian funds from a bearing shop.
All you may have to order are the steel sleeves that run though them, but most of mine cleaned up with emery cloth or were mint so I only needed a few.

MY best advice to all quad owners is you can get the same bearing froma bearing shop for an 1/8 the price.
