C/V joint suport bushing
« on: June 08, 2015, 07:33:43 PM »
I would like to install a right front c/v  axle shaft suport bushing. about the only place I see that has it on line is Bits For Vits. Is there a source in the US that sells it. Do I really need this?  I am about to replact the lower ball joints and would like to do all at once

Bits4Vits is the only place I have found them also.  Their shipping is pretty fast, or you can order them from Suzuki (for about twice as much).
Are they absolutely necessary ?  No, most are not using them.  If you are hammering on a lifted rig, they will help on seal wear.  We ran one on our race rig, and did not have any seal issues.  I don't have one in my DD lifted Tracker, and do have to replace the seal every couple years.

I am buying one from him as well, they have helped me find items and get them to the states for a very reasonable price, I highly recommend them.
