i was thinking that to....how hard is it to put a new bearing carrier in a swinger?and do you have to take the old bearings out of the stock carrier and throw them in the new one,or does the new one come with them already...im new to all this suspension stuff as most of you can tell so no flaming;)

i just installed my new bearing carrier a couple weeks ago!! new bearings come with it, and it is VERY easy to do, just take the old one out, put the new one in, put the axle in, tighten the lock nut and you're done

i strongly disagree with the durablue votes my uncles durablue bent in 2 hours of hard riding but no messed up landings, my lsr has taken about 6 cockeyed landings so far and no problems at all and durablue has a limited lifetime warranty they replace it once then u have to buy a new one, lsr has a full lifetime
go to my site at the foot of my post and click on 300ex mods link for a good look at the axle

I got a lsr axle. It's the same axle the Traci ran and I haven't had an problems out of it yet. And with Traci riding it you can bet that it was rode pretty hard! I would say go with the lsr but that's JMO!

ask a mod to move this for u into the chassis section u will get a lot more replies, puttin in a new bearing carrier is easy chaging the bearings in the carrier can suck

Durablue AKA Durabend. I have one but would never buy another one. It hasn't bent yet but I'm not saying it won't. If I had it to do over again I'd buy an RPM those things are really strong.

what ever you do dont buy a LSR or a Durablue they or like butter your stock axle is stronger than thos. The best axle to get is a RPM that is a fact. The RPM is the strongest Axle hands down.




P.S. Ride Red and Ride Hard
