all balls racing

[MILO]

the bushing in the arm that connects to the swingarm is getting sloppy, so i'm replacing all the linkage bearings at once, just as the kit comes. what's weird is this - first of all, the directions in the package for "all balls" states to grease all the "needle bearings" well before installation. all balls bearings uses needle bearings anyway, i start into the parts, and there's no needle bearings/roller bearings, any kind of 'bearing', just the steel centers and sleeves that fit over them, and seals of course. any other bushing/bearing i've ever replaced has needle bearings or something, so is this supposed to be better or what? i actually kind of like the idea of it over the others which usually get trashed really quick with the smallest amount of dirt in there, fall apart and destroy the rest of it.

anyone else ever use these all balls bearings, and like them or not??

I haven't used 'em but couldn't help laughin' at the irony...all balls but no balls or needles

i have used them with good luck.

 

about the no ball bearings thing. they have to use needle bearings. look at the dimensions you are working with. BB's are good for tall narrow bearing races, not the short wide and thin races needed in a linkage.
