I've seen some mighty wore out LT,s and I've never seen a-arm bushings wear.I'm talking the bushings that bolt to the frame.
If your talking the spindle bushings: Just pull apart and replace the long tube.
The motor bushings are a lil more work. I prefer to remove the motor and heat the aluminum. Then press/drive the old bushing out. Reverse to install.
Suzuki sells the bushings. Haven't seen a replacement.

The benifit to powdercoating is:: it is easy to clean. You must wipe/scrub on painted surfaces. The dirt on pwdercoating seems to fall right off with a garden hose.
I'm wondering just how hot the bake oven gets. The rubber stuff will take a good amount of heat.
