Need some answers. My buddy has a 700 Raptor. Hit a tree and bent his rear axle. Bought a new axle with hubs and replaced it. Now his wobble is on the opposite side. He called and asked me, but I haven't a clue. Figured I'd let you pros out there lend me a hand Thanks.

Did he get a new carrier and bearings? That may be the problem, or his swingarm itself may be damaged.

the rim might be bent or maybe even the swingarm.

I've had some rear axle bearings got out on me and they never wobbled. It made a hell of a grinding sound and had alot of play between the axle and the bearings.

How would a bent swingarm make the rear wheels wobble? If the swingarm was bent it would not track right, but it would not cause the wheel or axle to wobble.
