i have a steel one i will sell you. tubular swinger with a square carrier, just like stock

thanks, I don't need one though. I just thought it would have been strange if Suzuki put a steel swingarm on their top-of-the-line quad

Sometimes i wonder if anyone even edits those mags!!  There is so much mis-information and misprints/typos all the time!  It can be embarrassing at times....

I know on my '89 it is aluminum. But I just bought an old issue of 3&4 wheel action magazine that had a test of the '88 'zilla. It mentioned that the swingarm is steel but painted to look like aluminum. any truth to that?
