Topic: CA Bushings

Wheeling last weekend, I popped out the bump stop in the right rear. It wouldn't go back in easily so I started to replace the rear stops today.

After 6 yrs of wheeling, I finally checked the control arm bushings. These are the rears and needed replacement.






It happens. Most of the bushings really had nothing there. And if you must know, these are Tera arms.

Cleaned up some old trails and cut new trails in a co-clubber's 40ac. Trailride next month coming.

Those terra flex bushings do not last very long on a good day, got rid of my terra rear control arms a long time ago. Replaced them with some Currie ones and never looked back.

I'm wheeling with 2 kids right now so that's why I'm buying my time. 6 yrs on original design Tera arms, pretty good and probably too long. Those bushings are not bushings. Replaced the arms with the newer design ones I had sitting on the shelf. Got them from a co-clubber when he decided similar to what you did.
When I get down to one or wheel by myself (probably less in a yr-1/2), I'll remove the rear seat, raise the gas tank into the floor or on it, redo the suspension for better geometry (3 link front, 3 link rear w/upper wishbone), redo the rear portion of roll cage, lengthen the wheelbase, flat belly and even finally toss in the doubler.
