Default Swingarm bearings help / dyna wobble

New to the forum and been awhile since I've posted on any forum really.

Need help finding info on late model Dyna swingarm bearings and or bushings.
I have a 09Streetbob , and have been chasing down dyna wobble issues. I did the head bearings motor mount isolators. Adjusted the top motor mount to alline the rear wheel with the motor.
Now I'm at the swingarm. It has movement and needs new bearings.
I see one side has a bearing one side has a bushing.

I'm looking to see if there is an upgrade and if I can use a bearing on both sides.

Any help with info or direction to find info would be awesome.

Part of the next phase on my bike is an alumninim swingarm. Trac Dynamics can make to order one with spherical beariing on both sides. They told me it will require custom machined spacers. Maybe someone can comment on what would be a good material for the spacer?

From what i can tell, on a Dyna, it can be many things. On my 2005, I am starting with tires,as i know I need them, then the neck bearing ajustment, maybe a tru track etc.

But it is a "throw parts at it till its gone" type problem IMO. Let us know what works for you.
