The size on those are: OD 22mm ID 10.5mm Length 21mm I thought you said they where 22m OD 10mm ID and 20mm wide. I gues the width is not much actually just the OD and ID and close enough for the width. Lefty

Well I had removed the old bushing and thrown them away before realizing how hard getting replacements would be...the meadowlands came from measuring the casing. The mounting surface is 22mm wide, the opening is 22mm and the bolt is a 10mm...the bushing seem to normally be resesed a bit in the casing so I figure the 21mm would be right...as for the .5mm difference in bolt to Id, if there is any play I can go with a 9/16 bolt which is 10.4mm...think it will work?

You bet, just as long as the bushing fits into the caseing a different size bolt can always be gotten. Lefty

Ok....here is the big questions....so these copper washer thingies in the diff....can't getbthem separately, only sell as a complete rear diff. U mentioned that they are for sealing the unit....my unit was obviously running without them for some time. So I'm wondering if/what harm would be caused by running without them again. Reason being is last night I thought it would be "fun" to write down what all I've done to this trike so far as well as the costs...needless to say the fun of that quickly deminished as what I've actual spent so far came to light. So I'm hoping I can get by running without these copper washers till later down the road I can justify buying a new diff

im a new member and i could use some help finding a rep for ice bear where i could talk to someone who might listen to the problems me and others are having. the distributer in calif doesnt back up his product and doesnt warranty nothing.you would think they would want to follow up on these problems find out whats wrong and fix them so they dont happen again. what ever hapened to the quality control guys. it gives ice bear a bad name and they dont seem to care. hoping to hear from you thanks.

Ice Bear (Pacific Rim Int'l West) does not deal with the public directly, they are a distributor and requires you to go thru the dealer that you bought the trike from for warranty and problems. Just like Chevy or Ford. In the event that you dealer is no longer in business there are others of us out there that are willing to help you. You comment that Ice Bear "doesnt warranty nothing" is totally incorrect. As a dealer I have not had one single problem getting warranty parts. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait getting the part if it is not in stock. I am here to tell you that they do care about their product and their name! Ice Bear does listen to their dealers. at least they have with me, when it comes to ways of doing things better or changing a design. Sometimes the change is not for the best and then they have to work the bugs out. Several ideas of mine have been used, so I know they not only listen but act. Things do take time to change and don't happen over night. Jim/Owner Rapid Repair

i have a 300cc ice bear magnum. came home one day and the oil was running out the engine where the head meets the case. only had 400 miles on the trike. had it towed to the dealer. he found it had a bad gasket.pulled the engine out took it apart and the only thing the distributor made good on was the gasket set he sent and charged us 17 dollars for shipping it.i say it was a factory defect and they should of paid for the labor at least. it ended up costing me about 400 dollars when done.so much for standing behind your product. you think im wrong or should they have stood behind their product. lets hear from you thanks

i have a 300cc ice bear magnum and when i had the rear wheels off.. it has independent suspension.2 axels running to 2 hubs. holding the hub in my hand i could move it side to side and up and down real easy like there was no bushing or bearings. took it apart and pulled out the bushing and bolt that goes through it. so much free play i couldnt believe they would put something like that.the bushing was not the wright size and the bolt that went through the bushing was not the rite size either. both wheels were like that. so much for close tolerances. i got a flat washer and drilled it out and ground it down and put it in for a temporary fix.going to see if i can get new parts from ice bear, no guarrantys. if you have a trike like mine and you have a wobble in the rear chek that out, that could be your problem.

I had a machine shop make mine from stanless tubing and the std bolts came from Shamrock. The spacers they made are a soft metal and the roller bearings just eat them out
