When I went to replace my swingarm bolt (damn near froozen in place), I discovered that the stock needle bearings were flat spotted.

Several companies make swingarm bearing kits for the 400EX. I want to know your personal opinions and experiences on which company offers the best product. I intend to use your recommendations to decide which to buy. Hopefully this could also help others in the future.

I ordered an ALL BALLS kit from my dealer which didnt come in, said back-ordered, so I went to Magic Racing, which is local or online, and picked up a Pivot Works. They recommended the Pivot Works said it is nice stuff....

all balls and moose are made by the same company. i bet they all are and just have different company names. we usually use the moose brand for the price.

I've used all of your options in different types of quads, trikes and bikes. I never really noticed a difference between any of them.

It looks pretty clear cut. I ordered the Pivot Works kit and a solid stainless steel bolt. Thanks to everyone that replied and/or voted.
