wobbly back wheels?

[abuckley1290]

when i shake my back wheels by hand, they have play in them...how do i fix this?

sounds like your hubs are loose.
The Big Nut in the center of your rear hub.
sometimes it is easier to take the wheel off the hub first. then take out the cotter pin, put the quad in gear or have someone hold the brake and tighten it, dont worry about stripping it, i have never stripped one even with a cheater bar. make sure you get it to where the holes line up and put the cotter pin back in. install the rear wheel and take off again.:D

Or it could be your swingarm bearings. Check the center nut and if its tight and there isnt any play in the hub where it connects to the axle then its your bearings.

It prolly is carrier bearings.

if only the wheel is shaking then ur hub nut is loose but if its the whole axle then its probs your carrier bearings.

^^^ on the right track there.

If it is the hub don't just tighten it up, it'll come loose again soon. Instead..... remove the hub, clean the splines on the hub and the splines on the axle then reapply some grease to the splines and reassemble. The torque spec for the hub nut is 101 ft. #'s

Mine did the same thing. It was just a loose hub nut.

IVE HAD BOTH BEARINGS GO BAD AND HUBS LOOSE. WHEN I REPLACED MY AXLE BEARINGS, I HAD TO PUT LOCKTIGHT ON MY SPLINES TO MAKE THEM HOLD CUZ THEY WOULDNT TIGHTN DOWN ANY MORE...ITS A CHEAP FIX
