Tao Tao 125 a arm bushings
I bought my son a Tao Tao 125 for Christmas. Even with everything tight there seems a lot of play in the a arms at the bushings. Is there a poly bushing replacement I can get to replace them. The site would not let me do a search. Thanks John

Finding suitable bushing is a little tricky. For my quad and my son's first dirt bike, I took the China bushings to the local motorcycle shops and found sympathetic parts guys. They tend to keep all of the bushings in one box, and they let me root through until I found a match. Maybe you'll get lucky that way.
I've also made bushings out of UHMW material on a lathe. You could create your own with UHMW rod, using a drill bit that matches the bolt diameter and a grinder or sander to turn the OD.
