Suspension Linkage

Anyone got one going spare...

Looks like this...



Mines got 2 problems, the bolts won't come apart without drilling and the bearings are completely stuffed. So I figured just replace the lot...

With or without the dogbones, its fine though I would like the nut and bolt that hold the dogbones in as I'm now short one set.

Ta.

Anyone?

Cant you just grind the bolt off, fit new bearings and nut/bolt?

Yes but it I can get a second hand one with all this done its much easier, the bikes not being rode at the moment so I can wait a little time.

But won't the chances be that the "new" one will require new bearings anyway. That linkage must've been unserviced for some time for that bolt to seize like that.

Well its been sat up for 2 years.

I seem to recall someone trying to renew those bearings and finding that Suzuki required you to remortgage your house for them???There was a thread about whether you could measure them up and buy them direct from a bearing firm.

I'll have to have a hunt about.
