what happens is that the nut comes loss a bit and causes it to wable you can tighten that up and might solve the problem i ran into that on my 400 out lander when i jumped it and blow the rear half axle out

what there is behind the rubber cover you will have a nut holding a plate on you take those off then take the snap eing odd and its on a normal nut you can put a socket on its round and has snots on the side that holts it tight against the bearings you will have to use a hammer and a punch to tighten or lossen it if you want any more infor just ask and when putting it all back together pack good with grease you cand re use the factor clamp to hold the rubber cover its a one time use you will have to get a hose clamp to fasen it on better

There is an adjusting nut on the left side of the brake rotor hub that you turn outward, against the retaining ring, to tighten the hubs on the bearing carrier.
