Could be bearings or ball joints.
wobbling wheel?
I changed tires on the wifes Rincon and when I started to change the right front I noticed that there was a half inch wobble or better. What could cause this? I checked the others and there was no movement...I also noticed when I back up or move forward there is a clicking noise but its in the rear not the front. The clicking is more distinct when I turn either in reverse or foward. Im sure there not related but I could use some advice as to what to check.

ur wheel bearings are out. bout like mine i got bout 1inch movement on my foreman
same thing! the front left has a death wobble. another trip to the dealership for parts $$$$$$$$$
Yea Im pretty sure mine are out tooo. It's usually your bearings...Check those first. I think you can get them for around $100.
the clicking in the back end is a bearing...deffinitley i just had that problem and the wobble in the front end is a bearing as well ...i've change them so many times for myself and by buddies that now i have it down to a science
if after you change your bearings and it still wobbles it is your cv axle i'v replaved it twice about $400 for original part i got one off ebay for $100
i have the same death wobble on the front of mine so i tore it apart to see what the problem was. anyways when i got the knuckle off and took the snap ring off to pound the bearing out, it just dropped out!! Put a new one in and it still has the wobble so im assuming the knuckle itself is toast cause the bearing was let go too longsame thing! the front left has a death wobble. another trip to the dealership for parts $$$$$$$$$
yeah prob. bearings i got the same prob. just got some all balls bearings i hear they are good
A worn cv joint will not cause your wheel to wobble. Its either the wheel bearing itself or the ball joints.if after you change your bearings and it still wobbles it is your cv axle i'v replaved it twice about $400 for original part i got one off ebay for $100
^Or the knuckle could be worn slap out.
I looked at the cost of parts. It looks like you can get the kunckle and bearings for about $35 per side over the cost of the bearing and seals. Does this seem correct?
i live in canada parts up here cost about twice what they go for in the states. anyway if im not in a hurry for the parts i order from mr-cycles.com in carrolina awsome service i purchased a knuckle(with a new bearing and seal and ball joint) for 76 dollars.
The parts are $135.00 for both side not $35.00.I looked at the cost of parts. It looks like you can get the kunckle and bearings for about $35 per side over the cost of the bearing and seals. Does this seem correct?
I vote bearings. Watch the ball joints when you wiggle it and if they're OK then replace the bearings. Had a bad death wobble on the Foreman before bearings and it's golden now.
