Bearing Carrier

[flaccidracing]

I just installed a rad carrier in a 400ex. I can move the carrier a bit in the swing arm. I have not adjusted the chain yet so those bolts are still loose. Will this movement be a problem.

probly not if the bolt are still loose. adjust your chain tighten the bolts down and find out then if it still moves.

does it move in and out or is the carrier spinning

side to side

I don't think there should be any side to side movement even if the four bolts on the rear of the swingarm are loose.

Do you have the rear caliper stay and snap ring installed? That's what stops the carrier side to side movement.

The axle/threaded collar/axle nut simply keeps the axle tight to the carrier but it doesn't keep the carrier tight to the swingarm.
