As the title says I have a 07 honda rancher. I ride this thing monday-friday every week for work. I am in the hill country of texas and it is pretty rocky.

My question is both front tires seem to have to much play in them. Can move them back and forth. I replaced wheel bearings on one side. I still aint happy with it seems loose to me still. What else can I check on and see what is causing the movement?

Thank for the help.

 

Tie rod ends inner and outer probably need to be replaced. Also check the ball joints.

 

K i am going to tear it apart again on friday and see what i find out.

 

Is there any bushings that may need to be checked too. I know there is a bushing where the shock connects.

 

Or what about pulling the axles and repacking all the bearing in the cv boots?

 

I got it all to work. I pulled it all out and used all ***** wheel bearings. I took the seal out of the wheel bearing and packed it full of grease. They was on the light side for grease i thought. Also packed the dust seals with grease. Put it all back together. Before I put the hub back on I used a grease needle and pumped it full of grease. Got it all back together and It is tighter now then when it was brand new I think. I am going to replace the ball joints and all that stuff here soon. Thanks for the help guys.

 

It's a great feeling when you put things back as good or better than new, isn't it?

 

yep and it is amazing what a little grease can do in the right spot. I didnt figure it would need that much grease.
