    Hello TW fam. I was hoping to get some insight on where others bought replacement bushings for the “old version” of spc. I myself have no clue which version I have, but I do know mine does not have the spc logo etched on. Here’s a picture of the driver sideA7BAD35F-F97C-4391-BB26-E6C1DBDC42FA.jpgmy bushing are pretty much shot and now has a lot of play. Any leads to where I can purchase would be greatly appreciated. I’ve only seen replacements for the newer style.

    SPC has updated rubber bushings that fit the old white line bushing arms as well. But they are proud of them.

    Thanks for the response! I ended up just getting the SpecRide version. Hopefully it fits

    Whatever you do. Do. Not upgrade to the x-axis joints, I'm on set 3 of those in 30k miles, my old arms with spec ride bushings were still going strong after 50k of use

    I just wore out my second set in 15k. Only reason I haven't switched is because I get them warrantied, what a terrible design. At least I am getting really good at swapping UCAs lol.

    Glad I'm not the only one who hates the xaxis joints. Been meaning to take some measurements to see if I can get an OEM bonded rubber style bushing to replace them and never have an issue ever again

    I've complained but it seems they are very proud of the new design and how it's a flawless system. Id be curious to see if that works, I'd probably go that route too, tired of changing the arms, its a pain to get that bolt out.

    Huh weird, Im at 40k with mine and even got mine used. I beat my truck pretty good and the axis bushings are still perfect. Have gone through 2 sets of balljoints so far, first set lasted 30k, 2nd set lasted the last 10k but the truck has seen the front tires off of the ground more than ever lately

    Gone through the joints too, not as frequent as the bushings though. I think I am going to switch to TC or Icon eventually. I get things break, but I'm not jumping my truck or anything crazy.

    Thanks for the heads up. I’m glad I went with the specride bushings.
