Had a quote off Leamoco who sell the rear radius arms for £40.35+vat but you have to pay a £50+vat surcharge which will be returned on the returning of your old ones...
just thought id give a heads up for anyone whos going down the changing of the bearing route for £20+ each side saving the hassle of stripping old ones down!
if anyone can find cheaper please post as ive not been able to find cheaper...
 
I just bought the bearing kits from Shop4Parts @ £17.05 + VAT + Postage. (Reduced price and forum discount).
Now I need to find a time slot to fit them - when I definitely won't need to use the car.
 
Hi

I replaced the swing arm bearing in situ, and had I had a length of all thread that night, would have done the whole job in about 2.5 hours. I found it easy, once I had my head around how it went together etc, and how to dislocate the bearing end of the swingarm without removing the spring and shock. I posted about this on here a couple of months ago, if you wish to read it. It's a lot easier (I think) to struggle slightly with access, than to strip down the entire arm, e.g. hub, shock, spring, arb etc., but it's personal preference.

I just hope that my experience helps someone, as I haven't found information from anyone to say that it can be done in situ.

Best of luck

Well, they do indeed do rear radius arms complete for less than £50 inc vat, but they don't do mail order.......

Shame, as I live in Kent. Bugger.

Indeed there is. Nearer in fact. I think I have sourced them in Canterbury. I'll report back. Hoorah!
