FAQ

How many kits do I need?

What comes in the kit?

All Balls lists four bushings, two needle bearing shafts and four washers.

What are signs of worn A-arm bushings?

Clunks over bumps, play when you pry on the arm at the frame, squeaks and an alignment that keeps drifting are the usual signs.

Which Can-Am Defender models does it fit?

All Balls lists Can-Am Defender HD5, HD7, HD8, HD9 and HD10 models (2016-2026) and 2014-2020 Commander 800R, 1000, 1000R and Max models. See the full year list below. All Balls lists it for both the upper and lower A-arms on Defender models and for the lower A-arm only on Commander models.

Is installation difficult?

The arm comes off the machine and the old bushings are pressed or driven out of the arm. All Balls does not publish an install sheet; have the alignment checked afterward.

What is the difference between this and the bushing-only kit?

This kit includes the needle bearing shafts as well as the bushings. If the needle bearing shafts are smooth and straight, the bushing-only kit (50-1154) covers the same machines.
