Wobbly steering stabilizer

[RIQUE]

My stabilizer is all wobbly on the section that connects to the A arm of the bike. I have an older stabilizer that has the joint in good condition. Since the inside part has a safety pin I figure this joint is replaceable.

I want to ask if I must use a press or if I can just knock it out. I don't want to harm the little ball like part.

its a hiem joint it should swivel and rotate it will need a press
beating bearings is never a good idea
especially if you want to re use them

The swivel on my current stabilizer is too loose and over bumps it moves vertically hitting the A arm and making a racket. Old one is stiff as it should be.

sounds like you need a press and a proper sized bearing tool.
you might be able to get away with a C clamp or a Bench vise.
you should be able to buy a new bearing,
and it might be put together with loctite
so you might need to heat it but not enough to damage the shaft seal

this is off of the r1200s
why was it loose it doesnt look worn
had the busshings moved out of position

You might try riding without it for a bit to see if you really think you need one. Many just remove and never miss them.

Oops, my error.
