if they dont make the bushings anymore you may have to take them out and have a machine shop make some up. I had to do that with my 92 Polaris 350 L. the part that I would normally call a bushing is actually called a bearing. its a hard "plastic" piece that the steel bushing fits inside. you can probably still buy the bearing at your dealer. I picked a set up and they were $11 each. I took my old bushings to a machine shop and they turned them out for $15 each. Hopefully this helps you out a little bit. Oh and you need the seals also which go on both sides of the bearing. Good luck

This thread is a couple of months old.
There are no seals on the swingarm bushings. There is next to the axle bearings but not the swingarm bushings.
And mine had simply come loose. I cleaned them thoroughly, used Loctite on the threads, and torqued it to the correct 150 foot pounds.

Mine is a 2003 Trail Blazer.
I also have a 1999 Trail Blazer that looks identical in the swingarm mount.

Here again, OP was referring to the Trail Blazer's swingarm pivot bushings, not the axle bearings which do have seals.

I know what a swing arm is I've got mine off my 92 trail boss 350 and it has swing arm bearings, bushings, and seals. I'm not talking about the axle. I thought maybe his might be built the same and that's why I posted on the thread in the first place
