I'm pretty sure that my axle isnt bent, but when i get to goin, usually at higher speeds i notice my left tire will wobble, kinda like if the axle's bent or if the wheel is loose... but everything's fine... could a tire be idk warped/deformed or somethin?
any thoughts?

Here's a real technical way to figure it out. You'll be impressed to say the least.:o

Put a block of wood under your swinger to get your tires off the ground. Put it in 2nd or 3rd gear and watch for the wobble, it's usually a bent wheel.:D

Bent wheel gets my vote as the likely culprit.

You won't feel a bent wheel, unless it got bent the 1 way you could feel it, I say put it on the swinger and let it turn the tires and look at the axle, and then the rim, and the hub. If the axle moves up and down at all like Dana Creech's did in Huevos, LoL, then its the axle.

I put my R on its stand today, and let it run... The left wheel is the one that wobbles a little... I shut off my engine, then switched sides with the tires and the same side still wobbles...so therefore it's my axle.
