So, long story short, I’m rebuilding a 300FW that was recently acquired and while my cylinder is being honed for a .020 piston, I’ve been replacing bearing and cleaning up the chassis. One thing that I have been debating is going ahead and replacing the a-arm bushings with delrin or similar bushings and sleeves.
My bro-in-law, who has been rebuilding these bikes for a while, mentioned that he’s not had to replace the stock bushings on these bikes because he’s never had one go bad. I, on the other hand, have always seen a great improvement in using delrin control arm bushings in steering response and removing the sloppiness in steering/handling, but that experience has always been with cars that I used to use for track duty and "spirited" driving.
Have any of you replaced the stock a-arm bushings, with say the Race-Driven or other brand bushings, and noticed a difference in the feel of your quad? Is it worth the $100 or so and time and effort to do the job while it’s taken apart?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
