250sx rear end changes

[oscarmayer]

I have the 85 250SX that the rear end needs redoing, but shoudl I repalce the swinger with one from a 86? if so what do I need to do to change it over? anything special or should it all bolt right on?

[honda250sx]

Its bolts right on. No mods.

is the 86 swinger the part hat stops the water leaking or is it something else? iw ant the part that doesn;t leak water like the 85.

Unless I'm on CRACK...... Because someone brought this up awhile back.

To run the 86 swingarm you need the 86/87 axle, tubes, brake backing plate, hubs etc etc.

You can use the differential and driveshaft etc etc on 85/86/87 but the other parts swap ENTIRELY but do not interchange/swap piece bt piece (hope that makes sense....)

yea, maybe I shoudl jsut redo the 85 and ensure I use new honda seals. may be easier. + i'm not going to be water driving hardly at all if ever.
