Dave.Bert Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hello I am looking to replace the bushings on my pathie with new Polyurethane bushings There is a choice between a solid bushing and a split bushing. Other than ease of installation, is there an advantage/disadvantage in one vs the other? Does the Solid bushing last longer then the split bushing? Any input on this would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoguePathy Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Split would be easier to install IMO, just make sure that you lube the hell out of em with a lithium based grease since a petroleum based grease would eat away at them over time.

RIPB.88 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 As far as I know, there isn't a difference in wear. Just split would be alot easier to install. I've read many threads about members using split bushings, and havent seen any problems with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCWD21 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I've had poly bushings in the front end of my rig for a few months now and they're worn pretty bad to the point of causing alignment issues and camber problems. That's just my experience though, but as a not be careful when you wheel and try to avoid sliding sideways onto ruts and holes. That'd what got me in the spot I am now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
