I have some play where the mount to the a-arm.I had em for about 6-8 months.There was play from the start,like the hole in the shock was smaller than the bolt that goes tru em.Are they supposed to be that way? There seems to be more play now though.i know they have a plastic bushing in there.Is there a metal one i can get to replace it?
I also have some play in the wheel.I replace the bearing in the hub but its still there.Not much but its not tight.Any idea how to fix this?

Your bushings are shot Bro. It is a common problem. Replace them with polyurethane bushings; you can get them from Helms Enterprises in Pa. They have a small add in the back of dirt wheels. Look there for the phone number.

My one wheel has play too. if your beside the quad and u push in on the top of the wheel it moves and u can hear somethin hit. But only one side does it. Is that how yours is?

Yes , I am talking about the lower shock bushing. Stand in front of the quad and pick up on the bumper and watch the lower shock mount you should be able to see the movement.:eek2:

You are going to have to chase it down. Take the weight off the front end and start searching.

Good Luck
