herrman racing has double wide bearings and they work great they lasted me a whole season last year.that was with their carrier though.richards bushing are urethene greaseless and pretty much bullet proof.they do squeek sometimes nothing a little wd or penetrating oil won't take care of.richards bushing gets rid of seals also alot less hassle when maintaining.give him a call at 413-443-1141.hope this helped,troy ross....

i use and realy like HELM ent urathane bushing kits you do have to grease them more than brass but he sends you directions on how to install grease zerks in your a-arms and swing arm bolt that and when they do go bad they dont chew up everything like stock ones
