I am greasing the bearings in the shock and linkage bearings in the dog bone. I have noticed the plates have been rubbing on the insides where they connect to the swingarm and some near the dog bone thing. Anyone else ever notice that on these parts? The best i can guess is the swingarm must be flexing to cause this. It is not severe but definitely putting some deep scatches in the metal. Cant see that helping my suspension performance much. Thanks
Yes I've seen it before where the dogbone rubs on the insides of the triangles. Since the spacers float in the needle bearings there isn't anything to prevent it. Can't see it in this picture but when I pulled the triangles to install a stock liink, they were scuffed pretty good.
