    Unfortunately I have a cracked swing arm on a 2001 WR360. I wonder what years will fit. I have a excel sheet someone created with part numbers. It appears that they had part numbers: 8000-76282 from 1994 to 2000.
    8000-97151 in 2001
    8000-97036 from 2002-2004 and beyond on some machines.

    Any idea if these might interchange?
    I have a 1996 WXC 360 I could use if it works.
    Thanks

    take the damaged one and good one lay them side, compare them
    sometimes they change the shock and hence the linkage
    sometimes its an adjuster
    if they look and measure the same, remove the shock spring and cycle the suspension with both and see if the results are the same

    The axle/wheel spacers diameter are what is different for starters on those listed.

    Yes I do see the difference in the axle. I Also see a different rear shock is used between the 96 and 01 models.
    I will take some measurements and hopefully be able to bastardize something.
    I have both bikes complete-I prefer the 01 model-but it seems Husqvarna only used that part number for 01.
    Thanks guys.
