My left rear tire on my wolverine wobbles from side to side, is that the hub or the rim thats bent? And is it an easy fix?

 

Put a straight rim on that side and if it still wobbles then its your hub or axle, probably the axle. I usually dont see a lot of wobbling rear tires unless the hub is loose or the axle is bent, the rear rims usually dent and ding, not warp and wobble.

 

Cool, I never wounl have thought of trying the other wheel. Is an axle hard and expensive to change? And do they bend easy?

 

Axles arent too difficult to change, usually takes about a half hour to forty five minutes from taking the first wheel of to putting it back on.

I'm not sure what a wolvy axle goes for. I know that the dealerships usually charge out the rear for oem replacements. If you can find a used one at a junk yard or possibly an aftermarket one for sale you will be much better off. To be honest I've never seen one advertised, but I've never really looked either. Most stock axles are fairly strong, but bumping a tree or rock the wrong way can take its toll. If you cant really think of a single incident where the problem may have occured, then you may want to look for a stronger aftermarket axle so that you dont have to go through all of this again. It would definately be cheaper than a factory axle from a dealer.

 

Rocky mountian advertises the durablue eliminator axle for 290.

Is it possible that the wolverine takes the same axle as the warrior?

If so, the durablue heavy duty is 235. They have the new g-force axle at 200.

Still not sure what the exact price on an oem axle would be. I may be wrong about the price, I havent ever checked. Stock may be cheaper than the durablue eliminator.

 

well believe it or not the axel is fine, the hub is bent

 

I was in your situation before. Good luck finding a new hub.. for me the easiest thing to do was order a brand new one from my dealer!!!

 

Was it expensive? and what cause it to bend? I myself dont remember hitting anything

 

Do I have to fix it? Will I do more damage by not fixing it?

 

You'll damage the bearings by not fixing it... after the bearings go the carrier will follow.
