When you replace the bearings get a quality replacement. The factory Chinese bearings are simply garbage. I bet over half of the buggy owners have bad bearings that need replacing without even knowing it..

I have a post where I changed the chinese rear bearings (trashed) and got new sealed SKS and Timken units. If you have the same swingarm as I do I can give you the part numbers. Also one thing I found was that that inner seal not the right size, the ID is too large and lets water, mud, and dirt in so I found a seal with the proper ID for the inner.
I also just finished replacing the front bearings with sealed units two days ago and low and behold the inner seal ID is too large also so I got new ones to reengineer it!

Only changes so far are minor electrical, Kawasaki SXS rear shocks, homeade canvas top.
I did buy better bearings. I also used National seals from NAPA.
I went one step further, I bought permently greased and sealed bearings so if the outer seal fails the bearing will still be sealed from the water and dirt.

Okay, since no one has mentioned it, I'd check the front end on the side that it's pulling to.
At the National Bash this summer I was riding my son's Yerf-Dog with FunnyMan. Steering felt heavy, under power, I let go of the wheel and it immediatly pulled to the left.
Got out and looked... Broken spindle...
Funnyman towed the buggy back to camp (Thanks dude) and JohnnyFazer welded it back up...
Long story short.... Check out the front end and your welds.. _________________ Chris Dierkens
