Hi Peter, I'm in the process of replacing all of the 6 x rear suspension bearings and bushings on my 2017 250 Combat Camo - the bushes were worn and the bearings were completely shot. I was interested in your idea about installing o-rings along with the new replacements. Did you not find that the o-ring caused any binding between the shoulder of the bush and the outsides of the bearings that they squish up to? I assume it also means that the bushings don't penetrate the bearings as far as they used to, since the o-rings at each side will hold them out a bit - interested in your thoughts before I put it all back together. I would like to improve water-resilience (we ride in streams, a lot) but don't want to introduce any stiffness in the motion of the components by sandwiching an o-ring between the bushings and bearings - or any additional "looseness" by the bushings not fully inserting into bearings, due to the additional thickness of the 0-rings against the bushing collars.
Would really appreciate your additional thoughts..... thanks in advance.
