    I ordered some dakars from Headstrong yesterday and asked Marie if she thought I would get the set with the updates. Here is her response:

    In talking to ARB the changes haven't taken affect yet. They have some spring liners between the leafs now and they will be adding more as well as eventually changing the company which manufacturers their springs. This hasn't quite happened yet and when it does they will have a separate part number then and there should be a price increase then.

    When I get the new set of Dakars should I switch out the front rubber bushings for a set of poly ones? Or wait until they wear out?

    Easiest fix to a squeaky set of dakars, just spray down both sides and let it sink in for a day and the squeak is gone!

    Nice! If you haven't gotten bushings yet go with wheelers. I'm not overly enthused on the ARB bushings. Also take those apart and smear some Valvoline multi purpose grease in there. :thumbsup: ... ask me how I know.

    Yep! My squeak comes and goes. I have like a high pitched squeak. Probably have to power wash it again. The ARB bushings are super hard so they are a bit noisy also. A buddy of mine suggested SUPERPRO BUSHINGS
