Headed to buy a 2008 M8 and it apparently needs A-arm bushings. Owner doesnt know much about them. He sent me some pics but they are definitely not factory arms. Anyone able to tell me what these are?

Are they seized or whats wrong with them? Im sure you could remove them and save a bundle if you could replace from Greggs distributors or Acklands, Northern Metallic etc. If not i'd bet that you could find at an agri dealer maybe?

I would not think that they are that difficult to find we use them all the time for linkages for carbs on nat gas engines and governors etc.

I assume it's the inner bushings and not the outer heim joint. Best bet is to find someone with a lathe and build them. They're some kind of plastic. Doubt you'll find anything stock that fits. I never did. Or look for a used stock AC front end and change out the whole thing. At least you'll be able to get parts after that.
