Have the chance to pick-up a 1997 Scrambler 4x4 cheap - checked it out and the swingarm bolts have been loose for awhile and rounded out the holes
in the frame. Was wondering if anyone has had success in repairing this type of problem. Was thinking of drilling the holes out to a larger size and welding in a bushing or machining a new pivot bolt for each side. Just looking for any examples if someone else has tried anything.


Thx

 

the factory ones look like a washer that is welded in place mine was like that to so i just tacked a washer back in there

 

Thanks for the reply. That was it, ground off the tack welds of the worn out washers. Welded in new ones and it is good as new. Took a lot less time than I thought.
