'85 250sx swing arm issues

[B1GBen67]

Ok guys,

I'm working on an 85 250sx. Replaced the swing arm bearings because they were basically gone. Now that I am trying to re-attach the swing arm, the drive shaft isn't lining up properly. Looks to be about a quarter inch off. Worried the swing arm might be bent. Trying to get this thing ready for trikefest 2016, but currently stuck. Any Ideas?

Stop, sit and have a beer..talk about the ball game or whatever your thing is.

Then go back and recheck your work, then take another run at it. Sometimes getting those things to line up is all in the way you hold your tongue!! So to speak..

A bent swinger should be visual..the best eyes on the issue are usually the ones working on the machine. We can't really add much without a pic to go on or looking over your shoulder while you work.

Good luck!

Thank You. I'll take another crack at it later this week, if I'm still having issues I'll post some pics and we'll go from there.
