Rear Hub wobble???
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Ive recently noticed that the rear wheels on my atv seem to have a bit of a wobble just wondering if this is a serious problem and how to fix it, the hub seems to be wobbling around on the end of the axles any help would be great

remove the cotter pin and check to make sure that everything is tight on the rim. the only thing that would be wobbling is the rim or the axel bearings.... hopefully its the rim! good luck
i had the same problem last night. just needed a little bit of a tightening!

What quad? Most likely there isn't a bearing in there.

Take the hub off, clean it and the axle, lube both with some sort grease and reinstall. Torque hub nut to proper spec. 400ex is 101 ft lb.

I really suggest a proper torque wrench, but I know some people don't have one, and aren't willing to go buy one.

So if you want a general guide, 101ft-lbs is right about the point you give yourself a hernia getting it tight. You know, that vein-throbbing, my-eyeballs-are-popping-out-of-my-head kind of tight.

Sounds like a bent rim or bent axle, if its one side, switch the rims around and see if it still does it..
