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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
