I had my quad up on a jack and noticed that both rear hubs wiggled a little on the axle, id guess about a 1/16th or so, not much but enough to make a small knock noise when i move it around. Is this normal wear, and do i just tighten the hub bolt?and stick the cotter pin back in? I appreciate the help!

I use a 1/2 air impact to tighten the hubs, this keeps them tight. I also put a small amount of black silicone on the splines:)

that happened on my recon, itll just keep getting worse and worse, so change the hubs or axle (whatevers worn) asap

Just take the cotter pin out, and tighten it down as hard as you can, and then reinstall the cotter pin.
I ususally have to put a new pin in because the old one is usually bent.
