bronco91shee Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 here we go. i have noticed since i bought mine it pulls. so i look at the rea axle compared to the grab bar and plastic-its off. i measured from the front shock bolt to the axle-off. i just had my swingarm shortened-its totaly square. my front arms are good as far as i can tell. just replaced the bearins and bolt in singarm. replaced all bushings and bearings in rear shock and linkage. I got some free nerf bars from my bros 250R, alittle weldin, but the fit good. now its really obvious. one tire is like 1/2" away and the other is 1.5" away. nerfs are exactly same spot. plus on the right side it sticks out .75" past my tire but on the left it is .5" inside my tire. thought it was rolled cuz grab bar was bent, fendres have bend, and bracket was broke. there are no stres cracks or anything-have had looked over by a few ppl. everything else lines up, but u can see the axle is cocked. chain tensoners are even, even if u try to fix it w/ them, it doesnt help. so i think....go measure dads. his is the same. they measure differnt between front-rear tires on both sides. wtf? anybody else have this? how do i find the problem? help. peace out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Of the 7 shees in the shed, only one shows any signs of what you are talking about. That one is clearly the result of a poorly built swing arm. The arm itself is straight and square, but the bolt holes in the back are not in the same place. If you take the swingarm out and measure from the bolt holes to the pivot bushing, it is not the same on both sides. A small difference here will show up bigtime out at the tires. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotulMonsta Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 My old 87 frame was like that. You can cock the swingarm and not know it. You can't really fix it. Buy a new frame and transfer all the parts over onto it. It will bend right where the swing arm meets the frame, those cheasy gussets that hole the swing arm is what will bend. Unless your constantly throwing chains like I was, it not too serious. New frame from the factory will only set you back around 600-700 bucks.
