Title: spun swingarm pivot bearing
Post by: oldpablo on May 10, 2013, 06:21:46 PM

Just tore down the rear suspension my '91 K5 to find that one of my swingarm pivot bearings slides and -spins. Does any body have any creative fixes for such a problem? It isn't ridiculously loose but can be slid with fingers. I appreciate any help I can get.

grub screw? loctite? or both?

I'll have to look up grubscrew. Saw some loctite brand sleeve compound that looked almost appropriate.
