Clutch rod bearing

[rupert's]

Hello everyone! Do you know the difference between having the clutch rod bearings and not having them?
I mean these:

My mutt doesn't have these white bushings, well actually it has a little bit of the round shaped one but it's worn out and the other one I don't have... I'm going to make a purchase at this store and I'm thinking about buying these white bushings, but seeing the price (€44 for the 3 pieces) seems excessive...

Will I notice any difference in the clutch? What is the function of these pieces? Greetings to all!!!

Yes, you need these or your linkage is metal to metal, a little lube and fresh bushings will make the action smoother, don't know how that price compares to U.S. dollars.

Be aware that the A2 and the A1 use different bushings. Either clutch arm will fit the A1 or A2 so sometimes they are swapped over the years. Make sure you have the A2 clutch arm before you get the bushing for the A2.

Well seen Rickf, after reviewing some photos, I have seen that my piece is from A1, these bearings are not useful to me because they are for A2, I will try to look for them elsewhere, if I do not find them I will have to continue without them. Maybe because of having this part of A1 when you release the pedal, this part comes to rest on the steering box.
All the best

I am sure that if you got a piece of Teflon rod (round stock) you could drill it out and make your own serviceable bushing, There is not a lot to them.
