Never assume. The 4 arms will tell you weather the bushings and bearings are good, if there are no needle marks on the arms then the needle bearings are good provided they arent rusty from water getting in, if the bushings havent worn INTO the arms, then the bushings are good (and of course the arms too). then provided it isnt rusted out the beam is a good one. I have almost 300Kmi on my front end and the bearings and bushings are fine, but Ive seen 60Kmi beams that were shot too. I can send my front end FAQ if youd like, but I think its on type3.org now too.
