323Racing Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hi I'm trying to install my new swing arm and the upper linkage bolt is too long. Is this normal? Should I just use washers? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevy4life32 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I had the same thing happen to me. On a aftermarket swingarm. The bracket isn't as wide so the bolt seems to big. Call cascade innovations and tell them you got a new swingarm and the bolt is to big. They sell for a few bucks. 2 nice machined spacers that go on each side of the bracket. You can get polished or just machine finish.New swingarm should come with those spacers. they work great and are very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowidenfast Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I upgraded from stock to a used -1 Lonestar I found on here and had to use some spacers on mine as well. I eventually found a replacement grade 8 bolt at Fastenal that worked better but, if Cascade or any of the vendors on here sells them, that's probably the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 use an oem upper rear shock bolt. correct length along with a perfect diameter and strength. Also matches all the other bolts in your linkage so it looks factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
