Rear Swing Arm's re-install Q's

[pSquared]

So, reinstalling swing arms after bushing replacement and wondering:

-parts diagram isn't clear, do washers go between the 22mm locking nuts on
both sides? Looks like just one on the body tab side in my pictogram, and
I seem to have only 2 in my reassembly parts bag.

- tightening things up, and friction tends to restrict the movement up/down.
Haven't looked up the torque yet, but just wondering if I missed something.
For that matter, can't get a standard torque wrench on the out side nut
any way, so how you supposed to do that one?

Thanks

Looks like it's on the inboard end only. The outboard end goes through the outer carrier that bolts up to the chassis.

if you used stock rubber bushings, he trailin arm will not swing freely. that ishow they are designed. your old ones may have moved more freely becuase they were worn out.

Poly bronze or poly graphite bushing will tend to swing free. they work a bit differnently than rubber bushings do.

remember the shaft does not rotate inside the rubber bushing, it stays fixed in position relitive to the rubber pressing agnst it, any swing with rubber bushings is do to the rubber flexxing.

with poly bushings the shaft actually rotates in the bushing and thus can have much freer movement if they are aligned right.

Makes sense. Thanks guys.
