k guys i was riding and i think my chain came lose and now the real axle gos left to right and all around sound like a bearing to you? if so how much money u think for the part? pain in the a*s? any tips im new at this stuff its a 2002 baja

 

are you sure the bolts did not come loose?

 

Is it moving inside the carrier? If it is and it hasn't been doing it for very long just tighten up the adjusting nut on the left hand side of the carrier. It is backwards thread. They are supposed to be torqued to 35 ft/lbs. They are tapered bearings just like the front wheel bearings on cars or trucks.

sorry forgot to say on the side where the chain is a little piece of a gasket came out

 

If a piece of the gasket came out, you may have a problem. First check that nut to make sure it is not loose, but you will still have to tear it apart and check the bearings and replace that seal. If you ruined the carrier, pm me, I have a spare.
