I have an 06 rancher es 4x4 with 26 in. mud lites. Whenever I reach 15 - 20 mph it suddenly developes a wheel hop on the right rear wheel. Im pretty sure i dont have a bent axle. Has anyone else had this problem. Any help would be great!

 

unbalance rim, or bad tire. period

 

You put huge tires on the little Rancher, and funny things can happen......

 

Make sure the thing is seated evenly on the bead, and also look for bent wheel.

 

Some body told me it could be a bearing. Is that possibly the problem?

 

You may as well jack it up and check for slop in the swing arm and axle while you check the wheel, tire bead, and axle.
