My lonestar swinger is starting to go to hell now. it came on the quad and when i got it there was no apparent cracks. now there are several. one on the rear shock mount, one where the brake line hold goes and a couple more just in the middle of it. I was wondering how well they hold up after repairing them. should i have any special guesting done? If i decide to switch up what is about the cheapest alternative that is strong and fairly cheap? This is used for XC.

i would call them up and see. i have been told houser takes care of you when this happens. somone said if you send the swingarm in with $150, they will give you a new one. if i have problems with my laeger, i will see what they will do. if they don't do something like i just mentioned, i will go with another brand.

i called them and they said they would have to take a look at it and it it was repairable they would repair it and i would just have to pay for new powder.

You're not the first one to have your Lonestar swinger go.... See if they can repair it.

good luck

Do yourself a favor. Throw away now. This will be a on going problem... Save you money and buy a Houser, Walsh, Holtz anything but a lonestar. I would not put any more money into it. Fix and save you money and buy something else.

Ive seen and heard of more Lonestar swingarms cracking than any other brand. If only they made their swingarms as strong as their axles, theyd be alright...
