Rear swing arm - interesting pivot bushes - plastic?

(1/5) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Just started looking at my rear swing arm/forks - the bearings appear to be some sort of plastic or nylon arrangement. Is this right & do I need to replace or convert to a brass arrangement if what I have found on the internet is right? Tried to search here but could not find a post on the subject though I guess it must have come up in the past.

I replaced mine with the set that nurse Julie sells, good quality and well worth the money

Bryanj:
Original are a type of plastic and use a seperate "top hat" thrust washer. You can happily replace with brass ones.

BE CAREFULL the collar wears more than the bushes and costs a lot, last i saw were over £80

Nurse Julie:
The very hard plastic ones are the originals Ted. If you are going to remove them, replace with the bronze Bushes. Report back here for tips on how to remove the old ones 😊

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The old ones pulled out with my fingers!
Do you sell a better option PM me when you can if you do.
