Hey guys just noticed some movement in the upper left bushings and wanted to get any opinions on replacements. I tried a search but did not get much info. Thanks for any ideas.

 

Stock Raptors don't have a-arm bushings. There is a metal sleeve and a bolt. They do move a little.

Aftermarket a-arms ussually come with bushings.

 

Not true. Atleast the 01' I had DID have bushing in the a-arms. Unless they changed the design in the later models his should have them as well.

 

They do have bushings. Go with some bronze bushings. There's 4 for each lower A-arm, and 2 for each top A-arm. 12 total if you're replacing all of them. Magic Racing is where I got mine and they weren't too badly priced. $4.99 each. So $60 total. Might consider these also? Never tried them, but not a bad deal. http://alba.buyol.com/Item/DELRON%2D.htm $20 from Alba.

 

I guess that metal sleeve is what you guys are calling bushings.

My aftermarket a-arms came with delrin (plastic) bushings, but it also came with a metal sleeve similar to the stock one.
