I am having a hell of a time keeping my chain tension. My problem is that over time the real bearing carrier twists inside the swingarm. I was hoping others have had this problem and could help me stop this from happening..

what type of swinger is it? is the carrier clean on the outside? are the bolts loosening up?

its a 1986 swingarm and i just rebuilt the whole thing so I know that the bearing carrier is clean. The bolts arent loosening yet the carrier is still twisting.

Isn't there a couple of O'rings on the O.D. of each side of the carrier? I think those should keep it from twisting if they are in good shape and the housing tightens down good against them.

^^^ If the o-rings aren't there, it won't hold. I just went through this with mine. If you need the part numbers, just say so in here (if you're not running them).

typically it should hold without the o-rings on there. i think what has happened is that the clamping area at the carrier has stretched over the years therefor not clamping as it should.

or the area where the bolts pinch the carrier are clamping down on each other and not on the carrier
