I will need to replace the rear swing arm bushing on my son's mini hummer soon but after the search function still can't get a definite answer.

I know the oem bushing sucks but what other option is available?

This reminds me I still need to look into suitable replacements for these myself. Always gets put on the back burner.

I don't think anyone has an answer yet that I have seen yet.

I did use a piece of rad hose, with the original metal outside, and stuck the inside metal tube inside the rad hose on a 110 cc Mini Beast (different size bushing) and it's still holding up well...but I will need to put something better in soon.

Thanks for your post TurboT,

I remember someone mentioned "Delrin" before but let say if I can find the material do I still have to use a metal tube as a sleeve where the bolt goes thru it to the frame?

Also, should I worry about install "Zerk" (grease fittings) ?

Still looking for a permanent solution. :?
