Spindle Bushing Part Number

[motormayhem]

I am looking to replace of the brass bushings in my spindle that guide the birf while I have the front axle apart. Looking in the parts diagram I see two part numbers listed for the bushing. Which one is correct for a 1995 I'm 99% sure its 9038133001, but wanted to check. Is there a big reason to go OEM on these or are the aftermarket ones the same?

These are the two numbers I am seeing
9038133001
9038133002

Try a search using the terms Spindle Bushing Replacement, lots of previous discussions on the solid versus the half solid/bearing newer design. Not a parts expert but the two numbers above are likely the same (solid bushing like the original).

Here are some pics of the spindle. Overall looks fine, runout was ~<0.002in total when measured in a v block. Spindle bushings don’t look horrible, but the one that has grooving had some dried grease in the channels on it. It’s about 0.004-0.007in oversize compared to the better looking one. Which how much cleaning it takes to get to this point I’m debating if it’s worth the $$ to grab some new bushings (still the brass bushing setup not the newer needle bearing setup).

One bushing is all brass (old style) like what's in you're spindle now and the other bushing is the new factory style that is both brass along with needle bearings. You can order both new and old style factory and aftermarket bushings from Kurt at Cruiser outfitters
