Default Backtire Wobble From Wheel Hubs

2001 raptor
Lonestar axcaliber axle
I have two sets of rear tires/wheels, and they both wobble mucho bad. I have the stock wheel hubs and they have excessive play on the axle when the nuts are loose or off. When i tighten them up the nuts kinda kick them sideways, which is where my wobble is comeing from. I was curious if anyone else has had this problem ? Also the nuts keep comeing loose as well, I assume from wear...

Don't know what to tell you Reptar since I have never experienced what you are talking about. Hope you get it fixed. XR

Maybe the nut isn't kicking the hubs sideways. Perhaps the hubs are just bent. That would certainly explain the wobble.

Sounds like they might have wore when it was ridden with them loose, I have a lonestar and my stock hubs usually try and work loose also to the point of actually cutting the cotter pins. I used some red loctite and it seems to be holding but your situation seems a little more severe and may need replacement hubs.

thanx for the help warrior, i just hope they didn't wear my axle, which they shouldn't have since the axle's material is stronger than the stock wheel hubs material.
