Default just replaced swingarm bearings (NEED INFO)

well just got done about an hour ago and man were they BAD!!!!!!! half of the bearing on each side was completely rusted out and gone!! it took me three hours to do because it was my first time. i couldnt believe (knock on wood) that the swingarm itself is fine. at least next time i hear that clicking noise i'll know what i need to do again. the rearend feels tighter of course but w/ my gators on it the front end STILL shakes REALLY bad from about 30mph on. can you balance 4-wheeler tires? if not, what else could it be? ive said before on here about my p650 handles TERRIBLE w/ my gators on it and another guy told me that he has gators on his and he has had not trouble. so evidentally its either something else is wrong w/ my p650 in the front end or the front tires need balanced. NEED REPLIES ASAP

i dont know what your problem might be but i have 27 inch gators and have no problems as for as balancing iss concernd. you should be able to either try tire store or bike shop if they wont fit then try buble balancer is the next option one thing to try is when you get it the speed where it shakes try to let off gas if shake goes away or less then it drive line if no change it tire wheel related hope this helps.

i think it might be something with the toe in or toe out adjustment. check with nyroc , he has alot of info on this.

Rammy,

I had a shake in my front end, at higher speeds, after mounting up my Mudlites. Setting toe in to zero solved the problem for me. Instructions are on NYROC's web site.

Good luck!
