Swing arm screwed up...

[three_wheelin45]

Well I had to put my 185s for sale today... poor lil guy :*( But the carrier in my swingarm on my 200x has some rubber/metal ring hangeing out and metal shaveings. When I ride it the whole rear end would wobble thats how I found out about this. Any ideas on what might be wrong? Thanks Zack

yea also my crown nuts that hold my hubs on are rounded... how should i go about getn them off??

sounds like the dust covers and bearings went bad. it sounds like the bearings went then the added stress of the bearings being blown caused the dust covers to fail.

How did the castle nuts get rounded?? Smash a socket on them and use an impact, then replace them.......

Sounds like the bearing seals to me also.

The biggest issue you guys deal with is even if the bearings are replaced, if the axle journal is worn, it will never be tight. Water and rust kill axles which is why I use heavy water-proof grease on them when I install them........

^amen, you will rarely say " i wish i hadn't put all that grease in there".
while you're at it, you might want to check out your swingarm bearings.
