bushings or bearings for aftermarket arms?

[400rednEX]

can you get bearings for aftermarket a-arms or do you have to stick with bushings? will stock bearings fit? i have kryptons.

I just installed needle bearings in my A-arms. You can do this just measure the inside diameter of the A-arm, then try to locate a bearing and seal that will fit.You might have to have someone machine new sleeves also. I found that a linkage bearing for a CRF 230 was the right size for mine.The only problem is $$$$, the bearings alone are $17 a piece:eek2: So I ended up buying (2) Pivot Works kits.And then I still needed 8 more seals.So you can buy one of those bushing kits for $50-60 or get the needle bearing setup and spend $150.Your best bet is to get ahold of Houser and maybe they sell a bearing kit for their A-arms.Just measure yours first.
