Hi all, I’ve got absolutely no experience on the rear suspension... when putting some new drums on the rear today I noticed there was a bit of play in the outboard end of the rear radius arm. Is there anything that could be loose, or would the culprit most likely be the bearing wearing out (most likely still the original one) Thanks |

Bearing is easy enough to do, the bush is a bit trickier as the new one needs to be reamed to the correct size. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hi Tim, I have the gear to ream the bush in line with the needle bearing. Also a puller for the needle bearing. You should replace both, and the shaft. Repair kit is around $30. |
