the bushings in my front end need to be replaced. I can get a complete set of delroy a-arm bushings for $80 or I can get a complete set of pivot works a-arm bearings for $160 is it really worth the extra $80 for the bearings over the bushings.


By complete set I mean for both upper and lower a-arms

I'm debating the same thing, I have a 400ex and heard service honda sells new a arms complete with ball joints and spherical bearings for $40 each so that = your $160. I also hear that the bushings loose their tight fit after alot of riding. I may go with the bushings because of all the water I ride through and those bearings don't seem very watertight and alot of work to grease every month. The bushings seem like alot less maintenance to me and I only trail ride if they do loosen up after a bit. I guess it comes down to the quality of the bushings.
