Ok. well I bought my 400 about 5 months ago, I and now I am noticing that the rear end is loose. I raise the reaer end up and i can move the axle a little prolly a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch.. would re-packing the bearings do any good or is it to late and Ill have to replace them. If i have tp replace them what do i get and where would you suggest gettin them

Is this what I need http://www.rockymountainatv.com/home.asp?sid=0002356518 . it says it will do one axle for $43.99. when i called my dealer they said that it would cost $39 a bearing and $11 a seal and i need two of each. are the pivot works really that much cheaper or is the dealer just really expensive ?

Dealerships will flat out rape you on bearings, and most other parts, as well.

If you have the dough, I would also suggest a twin row carrier.

Joe hit the nail on the head..get an aftermarket one of your choice made of billet aluminum and most come with grease zerks..so you can grease it for years and not worry about it...this is the only way to go..
