The driver's side, it's getting pretty bad. I originally bought it from Lorenz and I emailed him but he never emailed back.


It just got a little loose at first but now it's making some pretty good noise. It only has about 50K miles on it too, maybe it was just a bad bushing.

The nut came loose on mine and allowed for some play which made the truck drive horrible. I also had lots of noise which was driving me crazy so I took it apart and coated the bushings and heim joint with never sieze. Quiet as can be now.

Rednecktastic

Good suggestion but it's actually loose in there, I can shake it with my hand

Also Lazarsmith sells just the bushings as well.

Rednecktastic

What's lazersmith's user name on here(it didnt' show up in search)? I will contact him since he's kinda local to me as well as Don.

I know I've talked to them both on here from time to time but I dont get on much since there is no net at work.



I really need to get this thing fixed.


Thanks yall.

Rednecktastic

Thanks, but they would probably laugh at me if I called in asking for a bushing for a Thuren fab part but I'll try if I can't get anywhere with the other guys.

Call or E-mail Don Thruen. He will help you.

sloride

No they won't. Carli and Thuren get along just fine and Carli sells Thurens trackbar.

I'd just call Mr. Thuren himself though

Thanks yall, I left Don a voice mail on his number sloride posted above. Hope he has time to get back to me quick enough because I need to get her done next weekend . If not I'll contact lazersmith.



Also I think it was running a D rated tire that caused this, I never got dw out of the front end but you could feel it shimmy over certain road surfaces my E tires don't shimmy on which probably tore up the bushing? Either that or it was just a bad bushing because it's been loose for awhile now.



I'm certainly not mad about the product though and don't mind putting another bushing in.

I think 50K on a bushing is pretty good......

Is it the white delrin plastic bushing that you are talking about?

Did you routinely shoot some grease on it?

Rednecktastic

Yeah its the white one and I talked to Don and he is going to sell me one at cost . But he is going to get me a softer one so it lasts longer but they don't come in till next week. I'll be ok until then I'll just ride the bike.

Also, I never greased it, there is no zirk. I might drill a hole and install one though now.


Sounded like a nice guy and I might buy some other stuff from him when I call him back next week.

Don is a good guy. He'll take good care of you with your future purchases.
