The Artec Industries 2" Bushing Kit with Sleeve is a heavy-duty polyurethane pivot for fabrication and suspension work. It pairs a machined seamless-DOM outer sleeve with a zinc-plated inner sleeve and Daystar polyurethane bushings, giving link brackets, motor mounts, and custom joints a serviceable pivot that will not crush or split under load. The 2" overall width is sized to fit all of Artec's large link brackets, and the inner sleeve comes in two bore sizes to match your bolt.
Features
- Outer sleeve machined from 2.0" OD seamless DOM tube with a 0.250" wall
- Thick 0.250" wall resists splitting under hard cycling and impacts
- Threaded for a 0.250" grease zerk so the bushings stay lubricated
- 2" overall width fits all Artec large link brackets
- Zinc-plated inner sleeve in 7/16" or 1/2" bore
- Daystar polyurethane bushing halves for a controlled, quiet pivot
This is a universal fabrication component, not a vehicle-specific part — the outer sleeve welds into your bracket or tube, so professional welding is part of the job. Pick the 7/16" or 1/2" bore to match your bolt, and grab the Daystar bushing replacement when the poly eventually wears. Wider joints are covered by the 2.63" kit and 3.0" kit; see the full bushings collection for the rest.
Bushing Kit FAQs
Which bore size should I choose?
Match the inner sleeve to your bolt: the BU2001 variant has a 7/16" through-hole and the BU2003 has a 1/2" through-hole. Everything else — sleeve, width, and bushings — is identical between the two.
Do I need to weld this in?
Yes. The 2.0" OD outer sleeve is designed to weld into your link bracket, tube, or mount, so plan on proper welding as part of the install. Once welded, the bushings and inner sleeve assemble by hand and the joint is serviceable from there.
Can the bushings be greased and replaced?
Both. The sleeve is drilled and threaded for the included 0.250" grease zerk, so you can lubricate the Daystar polyurethane on schedule — and when the poly finally wears out, replacement Daystar bushing sets are available without cutting out the sleeve.
