Wheel doesn't spin straight
#1
Ever since I've gotten my quad my right front wheel has also wobbled when spinning. I thought it was a bent rim so I replaced it and it still does it. Would it be a bent hub or is it most likely something else? I know the control arms have been smashed up a little but I don't see how it could cause the wheel to not spin straight.

If your front end isn't strait or if your tierod has play in it while riding this could be the culprit...Can you feel the wobble while riding?...If so I would say check your tierods and your steering components...Also if you have a bent rim or the wheel isn't ballanced this could be part of the problem.

jack it up, spin the wheel and check for runout(wobble) at the rin, not the tire. if rim is ok then check the tire(may be bad tire). check the hub for bearing play. if tire,rim and bearing ok you have a bent hub.

Ok I was thinking the hub too but wasn't sure. It's done this since I got it. On dirt you can't feel it too much but can see it wobble and feel it a little but on pavement it's pretty noticable. Not soo bad you can't ride it but enough that it is noticable. It isn't the rim as thats what I thought so I replaced the rims and it didn't correct it.

I have a new tire that does that. Seems as though the tire tread isn't straight. If you can see the rim isn't wobbling, it could be a bad tire. If it's a bearing you should be able to tell by jacking your ATV up and seeing if there is play in the wheel by trying to wiggle it side to side.
