    Does anyone have experience with the Yukon bushing? I know ECGS gets praised a lot but is it in any way superior to the Yukon? The Yukon appears to be solid metal while the ECGS is PTFE (which very well may be better due to it's low friction levels).

    I would personally go with the proven solution.

    Never heard of Yukon, and ECGS basically invented the solution and everyone (including dealers) uses them.

    Easy decision to me. Do you actually have a needle bearing problem already?

    Thanks for the input! No issues as of yet, just thinking ahead (planning a small lift in the future) and curious if anyone had experience with Yukon.
