front wheel f'ed up

Anybody know why a front wheel would be hanging up on the break all the way around. I am thinkin a hub or something is tweaked. Also where is the cheapest place to get a stock rear rim.

Razr 2 fronts
Cycra probends
Pro Taper

Not sure of your year/make.....but most predators have this problem, and on both wheels.

i have an outlaw 525 .its real bad . it pulls the whole quad to the left. I had to have hit something to knock it out whack or a part came loose in the caliper because its undriveable

Pull the wheel off and take a look at the brakes first. You may just have some dirt or debrise hanging up your calipers. Give them a good cleaning and once over. If they are still too tight, on the back side of the caliper loosen the top allen head set screw some and pry the brakes open so they are loose and then screw the set screw back in till it touches then back it off 1/2 turn. I use a little blue locktite on it to make sure it does not move once it is set.

Are you sure its brake drag? The front wheel bearings are junk on these quads.

yep - check the bearings
Front spindle/nuckel shafts (i.e. the steel bit) have also been know to bend

Yep it's the front axle shaft. It's bent just a hair. To bad they don't just sell the shaft you have to buy the whole assembly. Anybody know if predator parts will fit. And how about the rear rims are predator rims the same fitment

the bolt patterns the same (04-up) but the offset is way different and make you much wider.
