Unbelievable! What kind of auto parts store does not carry water proof grease? Boat or bike shop should have it. The lithium will work, the belray is better. Any pics of the welder? I have some broken aluminum!

I got a puzzler for you guys.
well i reassembled the swing arm, will post some pics later once i get the digital cam working, while putting the rear brake back on this small metal plate fell down from the brakes and i have no clue where it came from (definitely somewhere on the rear brakes). i have some pics that i took with my phone. If you could post your email or email me at orenn@union.edu i can email the pics of the mystery piece to you.
i will try to describe the piece
thin metal plate
bent into a slight V shape
coming off the bottom of the slight v are a set of arms that look like it clips onto something
came from the rear brake
anyone know where i am suppose to put it?

Since you seemingly do not have a manual, a parts fiche will show its location, google is how I ran across one.

alright i got a (hopefully final) question about reassembly. Well i put it all together on earlier this week. then when i went to put the chain on i was about two links short, i realized that the sprocket side of the axle stopper thing was about 3/8 of an inch from the adjuster. so i loosened it and moved it up. but when i tightened it again, right when the swing arm flexed in to hold the wheel and brake secure it moved it back again.
I am assuming that when she put the plate on the swing arm it no longer flexes the same. so could i just adjust the chain tensioner on the right side accordingly to compensate for the difference?

Aye carumba! Sight down the top of the chain, from the back, while taking the slack out of the chain. Some bikes may need your heavy friend to set on it and lower the swingarm angle. This is how to check that your adjusters are accurate. Once you know, you know how much to compensate. And recheck it now and then.
No, loose.. otherwise, you won't be able to tension the chain properly.
They don't have to be the same on each side. But the wheel should be straight, that's why Bob said to sight down the top of the chain. That way you can make sure that the sprockets are aligned.
I also will spin the wheel backward, to see if the chain rolls on the sprocket smoothly, if the sprockets are out of alignment, it might have a tendency to try to climb off the rear when spun backward.

Are you certain that the proper wheel spacers are being used, and in their proper position?
Compare it to the manual, parts micro-fiche? Not how it was in particular. Afterall, it was broke, then fixed, and broke again, then fixed? There should not be a big spread when you take the axle nut off, most are still snug. When that side broke, it had to do something to the otherside also. The new swingarm shopping is not going so good?
https://www.halls-cycles.com/Catalog/PDF/Husqvarna .PDFs/1980-1989/88_all_models.pdf. Spacers, washers, they have to be in the correct position. They did not show the 89, and I do not know if there are changes. They show the 90 also.
