I bought my 01 raptor in september 2000 along with about 4 other buddies the only problems we seem to have had was wearing out the a-arm bushings within the first year. I couldn't see spending 9.00 a piece for the OEM bushings so since I own a company that has cnc lathes we made our own out of delrin. We have all had them in for about 6 months now and they seem to still be in good shape. It cost me 30.00 dollars to make a set of 12 if any one is intrested send me an email or if you know where I can get them cheaper let me know. I think the bushing are the same for Raptor, warriors, blaster, and banshees.
