Wtb or wtt rear control arm bushings
Hello All
Looking for a set of rear control arm bushings here in the great white north for a 1974 m151a2.
Asking in hopes someone here in canada might have some.
Dave,

They are the same for Harley-Davidson WLA, or other models. I got them from a local HD dealer. Then I was fine at all biker rallys.

Re: Wtb or wtt rear control arm bushings
Last time I checked the WLA is a rigid frame and you can't get anything for older HDs at the stealerships. The only frame bushings on them are the springer rocker bronze bushings.cstaup wrote:They are the same for Harley-Davidson WLA, or other models. I got them from a local HD dealer.

What bushings are you referring to??

Re: Wtb or wtt rear control arm bushings
Sorry about the WLA. I got them from a dealer in Piqua OH and he stated something about WLA. I'm not a Harley guy and had no idea about the suspension geometry. But the rubber bushings were a perfect match for the rear shocks on my A1.whiterabbit wrote:Last time I checked the WLA is a rigid frame and you can't get anything for older HDs at the stealerships.

I hope you didn't use them on that bent shock.

It's not bent, the floor isn't level. No rick, that was an old shock I took off the 4X4 Vega that I keep for mock up and test fitting.rickf wrote:I hope you didn't use them on that bent shock.

Re: Wtb or wtt rear control arm bushings
I remember when Chris was talking about the bushings from the Harley dealer. The post I found was dated 09, a while back.
cstaup wrote:Ken, it worked. I had to go to two differend dealers though. The bushing is one piece instead of two, I pressed it in with a clamp and it fit the bolts perfectly. Total paid, $11.77, and about 60 miles onthe truckster. IMO well worth it.muttguru wrote:A1 rear shock bushing
Any civvy replacement?
I noted this on a Board ages ago. I haven't verified what the poster said but here it is. If it is correct, can you please LET ME KNOW so that others can benefit in future??? Thanks.
<<<A1 Rear Shocker bushing rubbers - Harley parts fit, the rubber bushing on a A1 is exactly the the same as Harley-Davidson part OEM 85210-42A. >>>
I did get some "dreamy" looks from the parts guys, as that bushing fits '42 WLA. But I think I'll still get some cred and the bike night, after all my MUTT does have genuine H-D shock bushings.
Thank you
Chris

Re: Wtb or wtt rear control arm bushings
I also noticed that part number is listed in the 838 Wiki under M151A1 shocks.
