Angry CanAms getting famous 4 clunking sound from rear

On my 2013 Outty 1000 xt AND OTHERS sway arm bushings( cushions) were a lil loose (Attached to frame CanAm parts #706001098) . Pumped em full of grease.Poor design on sway bar bushing does not take grease all the way around. Took a while for grease to work around. Greased-rocked-greased-rocked-etc-etc. Finally no more clunk. I will be looking at the after market bushings and hopefully a better design on main sway bar THAT takes grease. (Easy 60 year old rider.) Rides trails checking feeders and cameras and hunting. Low miles and hours (EASY ONES). Shame to be clunking this soon/AT ALL...... Perry

I recently had the same issue with my machine. The bolts were loose which caused the rear sway arm cushions on one side to go bad. With that being said, I ordered both left and ride side cushions from cheapcycleparts.com for just under $14.00. I'm going to install them this weekend, and put lock washers on the housings so that the bolts don't come loose, then grease all the fittings. Further, I'm going to make sure all the bolts are tight like they should be.

Other than the above issue, the machine has been great! I have just over 900 miles on mine.
