Recommendations:

In order to ensure Rugged Terrain Co. provides our customers with the best experience possible and you get the longest life out of your SXS Performance Bushing kits, we strongly recommend the user installs grease zerk fittings during the initial installation of all SXS Performance Bushing products.  Installing grease fittings and greasing your bushings regularly, will ensure that your busing kit is covered by SXS Performance Bushings lifetime warranty and you get the longest life possible out of all bushings bushings. 

Grease Zerk Fitting Installation:

Performance SXS Bushings grease zerk kit will come with one drill bit, one tap, and the correct amount of grease zerk fittings for your application.  First select a location on the top side of the A Arm bushing housing and drill a hole.  Be sure to drill the hole in the center of the housing and that as the A Arm rotates it isn’t in a location that it can impact the frame (see photo).  It may help to use a punch to mark the spot first as drilling on a rounded surface can be difficult and this will help the drill bit avoid slipping.  Next use the tap and slowly tap the hole.  It may be beneficial to use a penetrating oil such as WD-40 or equivalent.  Once the hole is tapped, clean the hole and bushings housing thoroughly with brake cleaner and an air hose.  Then simply screw in the new grease zerk fittings and tighten them down.

Bushing Installation:

To install your new bushings, first follow the instructions above on how to install the grease zerk fitting.  Once the grease zerk fitting is installed in the A Arm, use a quality grease (see recommendations below) and coat the bushing as well as the inside of the A Arm bushing housing with a layer of grease.  Then use a rubber mallet to gently tap the bushings in each end, being sure the O-ring is facing the outside.  Finally gently drive the pin through the center.  If a rubber mallet is not available you may use a vice with blocks of wood on each side to keep from damaging the bushing, then gently press the bushing in.  When installing back on the machine be sure to apply grease or anti-seize to the bolts allowing for easy removal in the future as well as to keep them from squeaking while in use.  

Once the bushings are properly installed, proceeded to use a grease gun connected to the grease zerk fittings to pump grease into the bushing.  You should pump grease until you feel resistance and then stop, do not force grease in after you begin to feel resistance as this could damage the O-ring seals.  You should try to pump grease into the grease zerk fitting at each maintenance interval but after the initial installation they should not take much, if any grease.

 

What Grease Should I Use?

Performance SXS Bushings recommends you use “Green Grease” waterproof grease or Bell Ray waterproof grease.  See images below.
