Stem Bearing?

Greasable Steering Stem Mount (click here)

are you tightening it too much or too little? any chance your stem is bent?

what stem bushing are you talking about?

I am talking about the clamp that spilldathrill gave the link to. I have the stock one with no grease zerk, and I replace the little rubber orings 2 times and they keep wearing out. Also I was talking about the bottom bearing that goes into the frame that the stem bolts into. That little bearing has gone out 5 times now. and I was wondering if a bent tierod could be the culprit? One of my tierods is bent, and thats the only thing i can think of. I am going to order that clamp, mine wears so fast from lack of grease I am thinking.

Oh, I meant to say bearing that the nut holds in the frame, not bushing.

that bearing shouldnt wear out that fast, it barely moves through the travel of the stem. i would check that you are installing the stem properly, especially the flag, the large washer, and torquing everything down properly, the stem nut should be torqued down to 130 ft/lbs, which is a ton of torque, really locking the stem and bearing together.

I've never used the greasable steering stem mount myself but I am curious to hear if it's worth it. If you do end up buying it, make sure you post a review to let us know how you like it.

I drilled a hole and put a groove in the stock one and installed my own grease zerk. works great, no more squeaky stem!
