Are Laeger Pro-Trax A-arms bearing or bushing?

[thedeatons]

Anyone know? At the pivot points did they use bearings or bushings?

Anyone know about replacements?

Laegers used Delron type plastic bushings with a steel crush sleeve for the a arm pivot points. I think Burgard a arm bushings will work with Laeger arms but I am not 100% sure. I would try Baldwin Motorsports first and see what they have to say about replacement Laegers parts.

Go to www.atvbushings.com these are way better that the junk Laeger ones and these will actuall take grease at the zerk!

HEY! REDRED!! I just PM'd you about those bushings!

Which model would I get for my Pro-Trax front end?

I already put a call in to them.... LOL

Just tell the guy what you have and he makes them up. It took him a few days to make them for me. They fit and work perfect.

[thedeatons]

Awesome! Thanks!

P.S. Should I reference your name for the order or will he know what to make? I can use you as a referral if you'd like...

No-he's made tons of Laeger bushings. No need for extra info...he will hook you up!

[thedeatons]

Thank you.

I have been finding that all my bearings are shot, so I figure I should replace the a-arm bushings while I am fixing the rest of the chassis.

Any trick to removing/replacing the bushings on the Laeger arms?

not really-just knock out the steel sleeves and then use a punch on the bushings. Be carefull not to score up the inside where the bushings go. The key is making sure the inside of the arms where the bushings go are clean with no high spots. You will figure this out as you push the new sleeves in...if they are way to tight, you will need to relieve them for a smooth fit. The directions the guy sends are pretty thorough if I remember correctly.
