just installing a new right rear axle shaft in a 2000 quadmaster 500. first problem is the installation diagram I printed from OEM showing the rear hub. It cannot be installed as shown in the diagram, it must be reversed in order to seal. 2ndly I cannot get the hub to seat tight against the brake drum. When the nut and washer are tightened there is still an 1/8" gap between the hub and brake drum. Is it possible they gave me an incorrect shaft ( too long) or am I missing something/

 

mine does the same thing did you fix it

 

Don't know that model at all. We started selling Suzukis in 06 but LH and RH may be different lengths. Also all 500s seem to have got the LTA/LTF prefixes, and there could be confusion between your model and the Vinson, so dealer may have given you the wrong part. Check, with an on-line parts list such as partzilla, if the part number you got is the right one.
