Skid grease nipples

[couch]

Skid could use a couple of grease nipples on the transfer rod ends .... Putting skid back in and noticed a little slop - pulled it apart and the aluminium bushing was wore almost to edge of thru bolt hole ...

What year and how many miles? I grease mine every other ride and am thinking I need to tear the skid apart also.

16's ...not sure of km but likely around 1800 to 2000 km mostly in trees ...greased frequently bot no way to grease bushings in the transfer rods.
Rest of both skids were fine - replaced all the bearings to be safe - cheap insurance. Transfer rod bushings in both sleds were toast ...

That is typical wear that I have seen. Those bearings wear out after 1000 miles. Nobody ever checks them though.
