I have a 350x, doesnt drive too good. Axle wobbles but doesn't look bent. Almost feels like the back brakes are always on, only it has no back brakes.

I'd like to replace all the bearings/seals at once.

Is it worth it to just buy a new carrier (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220385037399&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en) from eBay for $100 with everything in it? Or individually?

As far as I can tell, I need:

Swingarm bearings - $15 kit (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SWINGARM-BEARINGS-KIT-HONDA-ATC350X-ATC-350X-1985-86-/270386486545?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ef44a5d11), or do I need this $60 kit (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-SWINGARM-BEARING-SEAL-KIT-HONDA-ATC350X-ATC-350X-/320553618787?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4aa27c0d63)?

Front wheel bearing kit - One or two bearing, and need any seals? Is this my best option (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA-ATC350X-FRONT-WHEEL-BEARING-KIT-ATC-350X-85-86-/290317121070?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43983fb62e)?

Rear wheel bearings: This (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/REAR-WHEEL-BEARINGS-HONDA-ATC250R-ATC350X-250R-350X-ATV-/230383878729?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35a3f30249) a good set?

Rear Axle bearings - are these the same as rear wheel bearings? This seems like a cheaply (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-ATC350X-ATC-350X-Rear-Axle-Bearings-And-Seals-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5193455d86QQitemZ35036 3147654QQptZMotorsQ5fATVQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories) priced set, thoughts?

Is this all of them, or will I need more? Any other thoughts? Thanks

shouldnt have to replace whole carrier unless its been jacked for a while and you kept riding on it.should replace seals with bearings as a set.usually the more you pay the better the bearings

Make sure you get seals with your bearings. A lot of the bearings say to reuse your old one so they can use generic bearings. Not on my bike. I would also avoid Boss bearings as you can tell they are cheap. Ive got two swingarm bearing kits that had bearings that I would replace if I found them in the bike. All balls are a but more expensive, but well worth it. The bearing carrier doesn't need replaced but look on the forum for the right way to remove the bearings so you don't damage the carrier removing the old ones.
