Sorry to bring up an old thread but I just acquired a 110 quad not sure on brand for my kid anyways the back wheels wobble and it's the wheel hub rocking on the axle how do I fix this?

Usually you need to put a washer or 2 under the axle nuts... the nuts have run out of thread on the axle and arent tightening the wheel hub.. just getting tight as there arent enough threads.

This play can also be taken up on the inside of the wheel hub.. washers in between the axle spacer and wheel hub will do the same thing..
