Permaglide bushing for rockers, ARB pivot

[R. Alexander]

Hello,

I met with a rep. from INA and he recommended the following for our suspension rockers and ARB bushings.

I'm wondering if any of you have experience with this product and if you would also recommend it.

I'm concerned about friction, contamination, and how they will wear in.

Any input would be appreciated!

Is this really that uninteresting? I'd have thought there would be a lot of effort going into reducing friction in rockers.

I know there are old threads about rocker bearings etc but I didn't find anything posted about these.

Those bearings are used all over the place, they're fine. No problems with wear in, they're used in construction equipment a lot. With your app contamination will be a non-issue. I've seen them go for well over 15 years in construction equipment apps. Just follow recommended tolerancing and you're golden.

Used on our steering rack. They are great.
I don't think I would use them on our BC pivot, but thats just me and there is a whole other post dedicated to that.
