Well I noticed a LOT of movement standing on top of my tire with the front axle on jackstands - I could get the axle to rotate nearly two inches by spinning the tire.
I went snow wheeling and got TONS of wheel hop from the axle wrapping on the worn out bushings. I think I have another set to replace mine, I've only got ~15 trail rides on these arms and I think front digs are not helping either. Needless to say, I don't really want to re-install bushings for them to wear out again - I want to run full on steel.
I'm curious of this is a bad idea or not - will it pound the brackets apart and destroy them (my guess only if they get loose) or will it do exactly what I want it to do - perform flawlessly without any issues.
Has anyone addressed this? With the EFI motor I'm only going to beat on it harder - I'm guessing the bushings are not going to last very long at this rate...
