Post subject:  Custom FL350 J Arm Bushings

Hello Made up some J-arm bushings

They are longer then stock with a grease grove

see difference here http://www.pilotodyssey.com/PO/viewtopic.php?t=4741

$125 for a set of 8pc with o-rings

Plus shim kit 4pc .004 4pc .006 4pc .008 4pc .010
so you can shim the J-arms up so they have a slight drag when torqued to spec

The shipping is free with in the u.s.a.


thanks for your time

Hello you can shim the stock bushings also

the point in shimming in tell there is drag

when you have a bushing that is .001 to .010 over the size of the shaft.
You are going to have side play from left to right or up and down how ever you look at it.
know add the distance between the pivot off the bushing to the end o the J-arm (ball joint)
that .001 to .010 is multiplied by a lot you could have 1/16 to 1/4" of play from left to right at the end of the J-arm

shim the end play out to put force on the end of the bushing will get rid of the side play and giving
you only the play that the bushing has. Witch is not very much.

I hope that helped

I just installed the kit on Hares old ride-bravo to SPEEDCHASER this kit works well, install is great, machined to perfect standards.I have to say the shim kit really squared up the play on these arms, it provided just enough drag to stop all play in the arms totally-what a great idea SPEED, my front end which has been all over the place for years is nice and tight-time to add some Hoserized tie rods into the system and I'm good to go---

Excellent top notch product, it is not often that after market products come even close to factory quality.

HANDS DOWN THESE ARE WAY WAY BETTER, MORE CONTACT AREA, GREASE GROOVES AND CHANGEABLE O-RING SEALS.

Thank you for taking the time to make a better product Speedchaser.

no ignorance involved...
On the J arms or front arms opposite end of the ball joint... where the pivot point is...
