well i was movin my quad today to put some nerfs on and as i was moving i heard that the rear end was making a strange noise. i look at it and realized that the swing arm was snapped on the left where it connects to the back part. it is compleatly snapped all the way around. well i guess i need a new swing arm along with the axle and hub i stripped. this quad sucks:mad: :grr

It would probably hold if you beveled the sides of the metal and layed a really hot and fat bead in it, but I'd probably go for a new swinger anyways. Personally, I would weld it and ride until I could afford a new one.

i have no idea. i just was ridin it ova to put hte nerfs on and it was makin a strange noise. i think i might have happend when i stripped my axle. it was right after a big jump. so that might have done it
