Cyclone Suspension Rebuild

Post by jdsledsrgr8 »

Rebuilding my 76 Cyclone suspension.

I am needing the 4 M64242 bearings? They are the upper pivot bearings.

Any thoughts on where I could locate these?

Thanks for you help.

When the above link works, it shows the parts break-down of the swing arms and bushings.

I just checked it again and it says 4 bearings M64242. Maybe I am wrong. I could not get your link to work.

My mistake, I see what you want.
M64242 BUSHING, 4 used in the ends of the swing arms. These are very hard to find. If you have the suspension apart, measure the the inner diameter of the swing arm tube. I don't remember the size but if it is 3/4 inch, you could problably use a 3/4 piece of round stock, cut to the same length as the original shaft, drill and tap the ends and delete the bushings. In all later style suspensions the bushings were deleted.
