Swing arm loads and use
A swing arm tire carrier moves a spare tire on a pivot, so the arm, the bumper mount and the tailgate all share the load. A heavier tire puts more strain on the pivot each time the arm swings, and that strain is the main reason to check the arm’s bearings and fasteners often. Choose a tire that suits the arm’s rated height and keep it secured while driving.
Swing arm designs that bolt on without drilling simplify installation, but they still depend on solid mounting points. Before each trip, look for play at the pivot, loose bumper bolts, and any rubbing against the tailgate or bed. Clean the finish with mild soap, and touch up chips in textured black before corrosion can start.
- Check pivot play before trips
- Tighten bumper bolts after rough roads
- Keep the spare secured while driving
