http://www.mercurymarauder.net/showcase/showimage.php?i=5873&catid=newimagesFor those of you that have the QA1s and develope a noise in the strut here is a picture of the new fix. and if you can't see it here because I don't know what I'm doing I did manage to upload it to the gallery.

Jabo, you uploaded a picture that's too big to link into a post. If you had reduced the pic by half, it would have been okay. Upload it and click on the pic. If it can't be contained within your screen, it's too big. Delete the uploaded picture, resize it on your computer, then reupload it. Then click on the picture, right click and select "copy" then past it into your post, like this:

Thanks Donny, and just to let you guys know these have to be pressed in with a bearing press or something similar. A few people were having issues with the old bearings so this is the new design.

WHo did you contact for these, I have this exact situation going on.

[jabo731]

Shakes contact Naake and ask for Mike, he's aware of the problem and will send them to you free of charge.

Are the new setups shipping with this new bushing already installed?

[jabo731]

Eric I can't say for sure, but the way Mike talked on the phone and I quote ("These are the updated version of those bushing, we have a special machine here that we use to press these in".) I would say so..

Jabo, the picture is clear - just wondering if either end of the rubber on the bushing comes off or are they one solid piece? If it's one solid piece I'm going to give Mike a call on Monday to ask him a few questions about his "special machine".

[jabo731]

Paul they are one solid piece, that why he called me before he shipped them to tell me that they had to be pressed in.

Ok - I'll get the details from Mike on Monday - thanks!
