Ok on my 99 warrior I cant figure out this damn sqeak!! I happens only going foward at slow speeds never in reverse. It will do it with the engine off. But when I put it up on jack stands it wont make the noise any ideas?

 

sounds like braering carrrier brearings or brakes.

 

you mean the bearing inside of the axle hub? The sound is comming from the rear, I pulled the rear caliper and that wasnt it. So I guess I gottat pull the axle to check out those bearings.

 

it is most likely the swingarm bushing that you have never greased...

 

I greased all the fittings as soon as I got it, while my swing arm has some play and prolly needs new bearings it doenst make it when the suspension travels.

 

it's the swingarm bearing/bushing

 

if its the swingarm should it make the noise when I move the rear end up and down?

 

well either way I need some swingarm parts since mine is loose. Should I get one of the complete swingarm rebuild kits or just the bearings and oil seals that are much cheaper on ebay? Any good sources?

 

Get a complete swingarm bearing kit from pivot works. When the swingarm bearings wear out they are usually completely annhilated and ground up inside the swingarm before anybody notices it. The bearings have to roll on the shaft, and usually that shaft gets fubared from the bearings getting all ground up in there, so it's best to replace the pivot shaft, bearings, and seals all at once.

And when you put that stuff together use lots and lots of grease to keep the new ones in good shape for longer.

 

ok I finally have some money to put into this thing. So Im going to order the axle and swingarm kit from pivot works. I never noticed before but it only makes the noise while turning but im certain its comming from the rear.
