crombie Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hi everyone. im new to the site and already having problems. i have just bought a 2005 banshee and already the rear bearings and carrier has colapsed. si i took it all apart and discovered the swingarm , shock and linkage bearings are all needing replaced. bad times . browsing thru ebay and came across a twin bearing carrier, is this the option i should go for, 4 bearings must be better than 2.when iv replaced the whole rear end bearings i need to do the fron A arms bearings, more bad times. shame as its a really clean quad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 the twin row carrier sounds like a real nice setup, however, moving to tapered roller bearings is probably the best, due to the side loads placed on the bearings. no mater what you do, i would suggest addition of a grease zirc to the center of the carrier and swingarm pivot. make sure to remove any plastic bearing seals on the bearings, so that grease can work through it,not around it.

crombie Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 the new carrier comes with a grease zirc. it looks like the damaged bearings have caused damage to my sprocket carrier. ill put a pic up tomorro for you to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
differentstrokes Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 I agree that tapered is the way to go. Besides handling the sideloads better and lasting longer, they are also easier to replace due to the way they fit into the carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
