Do Bronze Bushings Need to be Used with MORryde X Factor and Roadmaster Comfort Ride
Published 02/18/2025
Question:
In the Grand Design installation video he mentions that when installing the X-factor cross brace you need to swap out the spring eyelet bushings for bronze bushings. Is that necessary? Is there any reason why I can use the nylon bushings that come in the roadmaster springs with the wet bolts that are supplied with the cross brace?

Expert Reply:
Hey Mike, so MORryde does strongly recommend using bronze bushings with their X-Factor brace. Nylon just wears out quicker. Do you have the older 2 inch wide springs or the 1-3/4 inch wide springs?

I believe they are 1-3/4. The ones that come with the 8k comfort ride system for 3-1/2 axles. Other comments and videos on your site say to leave the roadmaster bushings because they are better than bronze. I feel like there is conflicting information about this.
