msavides Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 they do sell em for $75 plus another $25 to ship it..damn shipping is outrageous Aftermarket set of bushings for calmini IA are available. These have grease channels as the stock Calmini Bushings Have no Channels. (How do they expect the Bushings not to wear if they do not have grease channels) See link below, Scroll to the bottom for the Calmini stuff. http://xterrafirma.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=printview&t=6190&start=0 I have installed these in my Calmini They fit perfectly. Xterra and Pathfinder Calmini bushings are the same. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff(joebob) told me he spoke with you..Another thing calmini didnt specify on their bushings is that it has to be greased with pneumatic grease gun with atleast 80psi..I dont think that a handheld greaser would pump out enough grease to really soak them bushings but with this new design with channels a handheld one would probably work.how hard is it to grease it now that you have the new bushings on it assuming you used a habdheld grease gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the year that i had it installed i was pushing in the mobile one grease (it is Red) and when I tore it apart there was only a small bit of red grease mixed into the yellow grease that was there from factory. When I installed the Bandit bushings the first grease (only took 3 presses on the grease gun) and the grease came out the bushings. Now I know there is grease in them. I would definitely get the bandit 4x4 bushings instead of the sending the IA to Calmini for bushings. I was planning on doing the spherical bearing mod (I even ordered the parts) but decided to try the bandit bushings first, as once I did the mod for the spherical bearings I could not go back to bushings.
