I’ll verify bolt size when I get home. I’ll see if I can get a pic that can effectively show the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackandYellowBanshee Posted January 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Alright, so I measured bolt diameter. Came out to 10mm. Called Lonestar to see if I could get some insight. They said my bolt diameter is correct. They told me that the bushings measure .59 and the sleeve should almost have to press into the bushing. This is not the case for me. The previous owner had a YFZ 450 front end on it before I changed everything back to Banshee materials. Would anyone know if the 450 pivot tube is different than banshee. If so, Iv found the problem. If anyone knows the banshee measurements for the inner pivot tube (ID and OD), that would also help a lot. I want to verify that the tube measurements are off before I start buying parts to chase the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 YFZ a-arms also use 10mm bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like the collar needs to be thicker to fit snug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackandYellowBanshee Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Finding NOS upper collars isn’t easy. Clymers doesn’t have a spec size for the collar. I ordered the pivot works kit. I figured I won’t be able to figure out which part is wrong until I have all new parts. I’ll check back if it fixed anything.

BlackandYellowBanshee Posted January 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Looks like I over paid. Once I looked in the right place, pretty easy. Well.. I’m a dumbass. Hopefully the pivot works set is identical to oem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the previous owner had yfz shocks. I’m just not sure what else was yfz parts. When I lawn darted, I broke one a arm and shock, so I replaced everything with banshee parts and now this movement in the arm occurred. I’ll know tomorrow if new collars fix the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackandYellowBanshee Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Problem solved. The collar was either very worn or off the wrong quad. Thanks for your guys’ input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
