Default Right Front Wheel?!?!?!?!?!? HELP!!!!!!!!!!

When I go down the road about 55 mph the right front wheel will jerk to the right. This is the 3rd time this has happend.....I have about lost it every time. WOW that would hurt. My A$$ sucked a hole in the seat.


Hey another thing....My buddy bought a warrior 2 months ago. He went to trade it in and the dealer whent to run the #'s on the frame.....AND THEY WAS NONE. Someone had ground them off. The guy said he had a tittle for it when he bought it....he had to find it. WELL they was #'s on the block, and it came back stolen. He has spent over $1000.00 on mods. They found out who the guy was who owned it..he was comming to get it. So there went all that money and his quad.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

Well RAJ sounds like a hub problem I would take it apart and clean it real good look for broken parts and refill with syn. ATF.
change the fulid on the other side also if you havent done it already.

I agree with the others on the hub. That sucks for your buddy. Maybe the guy will let him have the parts back? Hope they are able to nail that thief. Look at it this way though, the original owner is getting HIS machine that HE spent his money on back.

I would think that the owner would at least offer some money for the mods. It's not like they were on there when it was stolen. If he doesn't, ask him if he had insurance. The insurance company may be interested to know he has his quad back.

I just got back from thr Sheriff office, I had to fill out a report. He might end up getting receiving stolen propity. (Dag on I can't spell..I need a spell check) I will take a look at the hub in the morning. I just changed the oil a few months ago. I need to fix this tomorrow. We are going to Hatfield and McCoys friday morning. Where can I get a 2x4 front end. I'm going to do away with the 4x4 when I get back. If the hub is low on oil will it do the same thing? I need to check it in the morning before I do anything. I seen it was dripping yesterday. Not alot. But they was some oil on MY BRAN NEW RIMS.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

The seals are about $10 and pretty easy to replace. I had to do both of mine last year. They only take about 20 minutes at the most. Gives you a good time to clean out the hubs while you are at it.

The hub spindle nut must be torqued. Mine is 108-144 in.lbs. 2000 Explorer 400. Bet yours is the same. Drain fluid and change it first. If any metal parts are in it. Check your Armature plate and hub clutch assembley and bearings. Anything look bad-replace it. This happened to me a couple years ago. REAL shocking. My fault though. took hub apart and got something in there putting it back together. Hope it does'nt happen as your going by a tree. Good luck[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
