Hey guys,

I just bought this bearing kit for my 350X. What are the two small spacer looking pieces for. I know that dont go on the rear. Do they go on the front axle? I havent torn it down yet so I wouldnt know. I got the whole kit for $50 shipped from this guy. I chose to bid and not buy it now. Pretty good deal I think. So what are they for. Heres the link?

They are needle bearings for the pivot joint. great fun to change out! The smaller bearings are the front hub bearings.

Ok, so they are they for the front pivot joint for the swingarm. Where it pivots on the frame right?

Yep thats them, FYI Dads on the board sells bearings also, he also sells the dust cover seals and new collers that ride in the pivot bearing that should also be replaced when that pivot bearing is replaced. Most get collars get pitted bad. which ruins the new bearing.
