Suspension arm bearings

Post by BJBoehm » Mon Apr 18, 2022 6:48 am

Does anyone have alternate source for suspension arm bearings for the Mighty Mite 422, perhaps a Summit Racing part number? Assume that the front and rear, outer and inner are all identical. Thanks in advance

Bruce,. They are all the same. I've never been able to find them. Hopefully someone has a source for them.

Which style? This is my writeup on the later style: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=193392&p=1128024&h ... e#p1128024
Yes, early type is available on ebay.

Apologies, scroll down the post to where I discuss bronze bushings. Bill H gets credit for starting that post :)

Thanks,

I had a machine shop turn down some EPDM with graphite immersed in it. He made all 8 new bushings and they work perfect.

Vehicross could you have more made. I would like some and I am sure many others would like some too. Thanks

Working with a rep from Energy suspensions who is willing to help. His response: "That is a weird arm or knuckle. Never seen a suspension like that. I do not have a bushing like that. I might be able to help with our universal polyurethane bushings. Here is a link to them: Universal Polyurethane Bushings. Get me the OD of the outer shell, length from the lip to the end of outer shell and ID of the inner shell. I will see what I have. I like challenges".
Any chance someone might have a bushing that they could get these dimensions from without having to remove one from my Mite. Thanks in advance

No luck with the guys at Energy Suspension. Still looking if anyone has a source ( other than those on Ebay).
