My jcr UTK came with regular grease bushings, but in order to get rid of the slop I was going to install the polyurethane bushings. Called JCR and they told me that I just need one for the passenger side and that a driver side replacement is uneccesary. Most kits I see have two. Should I replace one or replace both?

 

I would think JCR knows what they are talking about.

 

Just seemed wierd I guess

 

Serious offroads kit comes with two poly bushings.

 

The kit I run as stated (serious) has two, while one may work fine, why not have two? If anything wouldn't you think having two would relieve some stress (on the spacer) vs having just one?

Idk maybe I'm weird but they're cheap enough to have two so why not? I'd rather have a bit of "unneeded" and peice of mind instead of wondering why lol.

 

That's what I am leaning more towards. It just doesn't make sense why they would advise just one over two just for strength and durability. Figured I'd ask. Definitely going with two though.

 

one on the passenger side is all that is needed to eliminate the roll of the steering, therefore one is all we send in the kit.

The problem with using two lies if the passenger side bushing(the one thats needed) wears out first, flex on the passenger side with no flex on the drivers side would allow the tie rod ends and jam nuts to possibly loosen with the turning of the steering.

So by only utilizing the one that is needed, we take the chance out of the steering system coming loose at the worst of times.

 

 

Now I can kind of see where you guys are coming from. It was a little vague through email. Either way I have two coming in the mail so I'll have to make up my mind when they come in. Thanks for chiming in.
