Hey all, Apollo Commander 125cc kids 4-wheeler needs rear swing arm, only a year old and low hours! Anyway having trouble sourcing the part/parts, anyone ever had to or know a good place. Looks like just a bushing kit, not the whole swing arm, I've attached is a small video (hope the link works) of what it looks like. Thanks!

What an awesomely bad design. The torque from the chain pulling at a narrow bearing about 2" away. Anyway, not much you can do except fit new bearings. You may be able to source the ones used by the maker from an Apollo dealer. If not, similar bearings may be available from generic Chinese ATV spares suppliers, but you will need to know exact sizes. Or an engineers suppliers should be able to source bearings or bushes of the correct dimensions. If bushes, you will need to decide what material will suit best, as nylon, duthane, teflon, brass and bronze may be available. If the pin or inner race is worn, that too will need relacing from similar sources. Finally, if all else fails, a machine shop can make bushes and pins for you.

 

Bad design I know! Anyway thanks for the info, Yeah I know either way I have to remove the arm to see what happened and take measurements. I may trek to a not-so-nearby Apollo dealer if I have to, Thanks again for the info.
