Default Major problem with 2001 TB

Well i dont really know where to start, In the winter my trailblazer developed a wierd bend in the axel. The only thing is that the axel isnt bent I just too it to my local quad shop and had new beerings installed in the axel carrier and that re aligned the axel but now after 2 rides it is out of whack again. The best way to describe it is that the lefdt tire is about 4 inches away from the floor board while the right wheel is about 1 inch away. Does anyone know what the problem is? One last thing, the part that conects to the sprocket is grinding against the swingarm.

is the axle bent? is the swingarm broke anywhere? is the housing it self where you where the axle goes thru to adjust the chain broke? by looking at a break down it has to be one of those i would think.

Most likely you have bad swing arm bushings. It's posible that the swing arm bolts have worked their way loose as well. The chain is what is keeping one side closer. You need to get that taken care of before the chain jumps off a sprocket and takes out your tranny.

It may be bushings but i just had them changed and not even 2 rides later thier bad already?

edit: i have a hpd chain tensioner on it. Would that do anything bad?

It's hard to say for sure, not actually looking at it, but my guess would be swingarm bushings. It is posible they did not use locktite on the swing arm bolts and they backed out. You say they replaced the axle bearings, not the swingarm bushings. What all did they replace? The tensioner should have nothing to do with it, Ive run one for years. It may help to jack the quad up from the center and push and pull on the swingarm and axle to see where you can find play in it.
