Default had mr trailblazer jacked up noticed play in rear wheels

is it normal to have wobble in the rear wheels the nut is tight and has the pin through it as far as i know there is not bearings so is it normal or is it a bad hub both rear tires are doing it

im not too familiar with the trailblazer. is it independent suspension in the rear? if so there are wheel bearings in the hub and likely they are bad... if it is a swing arm the wheels themselves should not have play but the entire axle could from bad axle bearings.

no its a swing arm but just the tire has wiggle to it i checked the axle bearings are tight there still but both tires you can wiggle a litlle and they have play to them. i am wondering if they are missing washers or something i am going to check to make sure eveything is there thats supposed to be it was purchased used and i greased the reaer axle and it needed it bad wasnt taken care of very well but i will get it in shape

I would remove the hubs and make sure the nuts were tight, and also check the splines on both the axle and the hubs, also you could put some grease in there to reduce the slop for a little while, it's not permanent, but it makes it a little better

The hubs on your quad should be tight, I would suspect the hub is worn out or your castle nuts are to loose.
