Review on LisylineAuto Bushing Bearings 7210001 0604 310 by Michael Hughes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The bearing doesn't even match the supplied bushings! Cheap junk!

I know you get what you pay for but I keep trying to get more than I pay for and end up with junk. It was a very unpleasant purchase that took a lot of time. I ordered the exact same parts from another seller on Amazon and they fit perfectly and worked well, then I needed more for my rear shock absorbers and found this bundle deal. It was cheaper so I took a chance and regretted it. I foolishly thought that since the part numbers match, the parts should fit, but apparently that's not the case in China. Sorry for the long review/rage but the crappy quality of this product pissed me off. The description lists the same part numbers as my arctic cat. Spring. The plastic bushings were too big to fit in the shocks on my 2004 Arctic Cat 650 and the center holes weren't even round, they were more oval and smaller than the bearings that came with them. As such, the metal bearings that came with the kit were not included with the bushings. Imagine a round metal bearing and a smaller oval hole in the SO bushing. I had to sit down and use a knife to cut out the inner hole of the bushings so the bearing would fit. I then had to take a file and file the outside of the hole so it would go into the shock. I had to do this with ALL 8 bushings. It was a lot of time wasted and I was planning a big trip late at night the next day that cost me at least an hour and a half of sleep. They're still on and doing their job I think. I never managed to get them fitted properly, I used a pocket knife and file, adjusted them and just screwed them on. I'll use them until they run out, and then I'll buy more expensive ones and better ones. I was just really pissed that I had to cut and file them to fit on their own. Where is the quality control? Can't you make a bushing where the bearing actually goes in? It comes with you expecting it to fit the part it was made for. So to sum it up if you don't mind cutting/sawing to size then I think this is what you are looking for. However, I am not a MacGyver and will not buy this again.
