Suspension washers on 700E

[Anonymous]

I took apart the swing arm and floating suspension to fix the brakes and now I don't remember where the thin washers are supposed to go. I assume they are spacers to keep everything aligned but the washers aren't even shown on the service manual.

If they are about 1 /1/2" in diatmeter it sounds like you are talking about the shims that go under the caps at the swingarm pivot.

Do they go on both the inside and outside of the swingarm? The other thing is there is a lot of play in the upper bolt on the swing arm, is that shimmed as well?

You should have four pivot caps with one under each. There should be spacers on every bolt that connects to the cushion lever. It's been awhile since I had mine apart, but I don't think you should have any slop in any of the mounting points. Everythng should be snug but work freely and smoothly.

Thanks for the help, I'm going to try and get that back together tomorrow.
