Front beam play

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by nzbusboy, Aug 4, 2012.

  1. My front beam has play in the top tube between the top tube and top arm where it slides in. Is this common and is it just a replacement of the bearing? If so how big a job is it?
     
  2. Theres only bearings and a seal in there dude

    How much play is there?

    There are urethane bush kits available for them but avoid them like the plauge
     
  3. Seems like quite a bit, I have a red 9 kit for lowering it in the front so don't know if the lack of leaves in the front is making it worse
    I am pulling the arms out tomorrow so will have a mooch
     
  4. could be that you've not got the grub screws tight enough... I've seen that before with the red 9 kit...
     
  5. Grub screws were tight, looks like its play in the bearing so will get one to replace it,
    Just not sure how I will get the old one out,
    Anyone done one?
     
  6. with the red 9 kit i don`t think you want the grubs screws tight on the solid lower torsion spring ??
