UPGRADED AXYS Rear Skid Bushings (rush, switchback, IGX Assault)

I have been working on these over the summer and I now have finally received the finished product!!!

-Issue I noticed: the rear mounting points where the rails mount to the rear crank arm are very loose. The stock bushings can move from side to side a lot. I thought this was odd having only had conventional suspension in my past mounted inside the tunnel they never had this much side to side movement. If you look closely at some sleds with more miles the black arm connected to the rail starts to wear into the steel inner bushing. First I thought it was just the rear mounting points but noticed the front mounting points in the tunnel use the same bushings as in the rear.

-My solution: instead of the bushing just being a sleeve I have added a flange added on the one end to take the side thrust load of the skid shifting side to side.


Here are a couple vids of the issue.
This is my sled:

This is a brand new sled at a dealership. Granted it has like 8 mi on it; its still new:

Here is a vid of the side to side movement after the install of my bushings. Notice there is still a slight amount of side to side movement to ensure things will pivot more smootherlerly.

I will be selling these in sets of 4.
-For the Rush style rear suspension two bushings replace the two rear position bushings and the other two are used where the front torque arms mounts to the tunnel. -Flange goes towards the inside of the sled in both locations.

-For the new assaults the bushings go in the front and rear position of the front torque arm. So upper and lower torque arm mounts.


Feel free to PM me or call/txt me to purchase a set of 4 for $60.
