My unit is brand new and I'll be bringing it home tomorrow...should I need anything else besides the Never-Fail Bushings? They talk about other things called "Correct Track" etc. This seems like a great idea and I thought it would be easier to change while the unit is new rather than after the nuts and busings get full of dirt and grime. Any thoughts? Jim

Apparently, all towable suspensions use the same size bushings. Am installing Dexter EZ-flex equalizers, bronze bushings, and wet bolts in our Fuzion. I wanted to install a wet bolt kit in our Cruiser. It already has Trailair Equaflex equalizers. If the neverfail bushings do what they are advertised to do, I will put them on the Cruiser. I just want to eliminate the suspension squeaks and creaks. Found the two axle set at tweety's for $65 including shipping. That plus a few hours to do the install should be worthwhile, IF the creaks and squeaks are eliminated.

If they aren't grease able, I don't understand how they can eliminate the squeaks.
Seems like I also read somebody claimed the bolt wore out before the bushing.  In my way of thinking it should be just the opposite. Also somebody claimed they had the wet bolt kit and their bronze bushing has worn out already. If it had been greased properly I don't think that would have happened.Edited by Old Farmer - 22 Mar 2012 at 8:53am |

Ok, I have found the "wet bolt kit" but where do you get the "never fail"? I have gone to the Rieco website and they don't list them??? I'm with Old Farmer I don't want the bolt wearing out, that's what a bushing is for. And properly greased they should last a long time, unless of course the bolt and bushing don't match.

avvidclif. I don't think the never fail bushings are designed to be used with the wet bolt kit. According to Lippert, they require no maintenance or lubrication. Apparently they are made of modified polyamide and are permanently lubricated. I think I'll give 'em a try.

I guess I wasn't real clear. I can buy the wet bolt kits but want to know more about the neverfail and can't find where to buy them or anything. I don't plan on using them together, just comparing them.

I believe you can order them directly from Lippert.
