G9 Good bearings, bent wheel or spindle?
Hey guys,
Need some help on my G9, thought I had a bad bearing, pulled the wheel and the bearing was fine. Have some wobble in pass front wheel it was pretty bad on the road, dont really notice it in the pasture. Pulled both front wheels and swapped them, now its a little better. On the other hand,now, they BOTH have some wobble. What are my options to see what is bent? I'm wondering if my wheels may be wallowed out a little bit, but not that I can tell Or, do I have bent spindle, or bent wheels, or ... a combination of them. Any ideas on what and how to check first. Thanks |

#1 is it the wheel or the tire? It could be your tires were not mounted correctly and they need to be reseated.
#2 it is possible that both of your front wheels are bent. It sounds like your using your cart for off road. #3 are these the stock metal wheels? |

Aluminum wheels, yes I agree both could be both, however,when I swapped them the pass side that was the worst, actually got a lot better. And as far as offroading, just crusin around the woods and the pasture for hunting.

Try jacking up the front end so the wheels are off the ground. I would use jack stands to support the cart so it doesn't slip off of the jack. Grab the top and bottom of the tire and wiggle the tire back and forth to how how much play you have.
Spin the tires and watch to see where the wobble is at. Wheel or tire or both. |

Jack up the front, steady a long screwdriver against the car somewhere. And while the wheel is spinning, feed the screwdriver out to the spindle to check run out. Same out to the wheel. Then you will know whats bent.
