96 sportsman swingarm frame holes worn out???

What is the best repair for the frame when the swingarm bolts wear into frame so the whole swingarm is loose. Should I weld in grade 8 washers? Does polaris sell new ones to weld in?
Thanks,

Just replace the worn bushings! I've replaced plenty of these. The replacements are stronger,just like your clutch cover! You may need to replace both the plastic and steel bushings depending on the wear,plus bolts if needed. Items #14 and 15.
