Today i jacked up my quad, and when i was spinning the axle i noticed something ticking. So i looked over at the rear brake caliper and it was jiggling foward.

I then went and jiggled everything else around it, and the following parts have play in them.

#3

and #'s 9 and 10 on this image

They don't unscrew, but you can jiggle them back and forth.

Now my concern is, when I put on the rear brakes the caliper grabs the rotar and pulls the assembly foward (like i said before). Is it just the two bolts on the caliper stay (#3 on the first image) are loose? Is this really bad for the swinger/axle? Please reply

tighten ur axle nut. they r known for comming loose. and if it is still loose after u tighten it u axle bearings r prob bad.

It's normal for #3 to have some movement but #9 & #10 shouldn't move. But I have an aftermarket lock nut and it does move a bit, don't think it should but it hasn't caused any problems yet.
