Default Rear wheels have lots of SLOP

Rear tires have alot of play/slop in them.

Is it the hubs, Axel or both that need to be replaced?


Thanks for you help.

Pull the cotter pin and take off the axle nut. Slide the spindle off and make sure splines are still in good shape. Axle and spindle. Could also be as simple as the castle nut needing tightened. Also check carrier bearings while you have it off of the ground.

Sounds easy enough. I hope it is just tightening the castel nut, that would make life REAL easy. LOL

Not sure what a good cheap one would be. I run a durablue eliminator and have had very good luck. I do know that that there is a g-force or something like that, that is suppose to be reasonable.

I got an OEM replacement axle on ebay for 115, you might be better off just trying to find a brand new one for a little more and not have to screw with anything used
