Need help please

[WCHighfill]

Hello I'm new to this forum so please bare with me. I have an off brand (Roketa) 4x4 ATV. I just bought it from the dealership about 2 or so weeks ago and only rode it once. After that I noticed a hobble in the rear. I checked the lugs and the nut. I believe it has cv's because there's no axles. I was wondering if someone could give me an idea of what it could be (besides the cheaper brand).

Thank you,
Carl

Bent hub.... Prepare yourself now for endless repair on that unit.

Does it have to be a Roketa hub or any brand hub??

 

[sumx54]

I dont think any other hub will fit it. Jack up the rear wheels and spin it just to make sure its the hub. When you buy those kind of quads you should also purchase a second one for parts...

Thank you sir. I will post back when I jack it up and check

The hubs look fine, I checked all 4... Maybe the bearings?? Cv maybe?

 

[sumx54]

With it jacked up and tires rotating surely you can see where the wobble is coming from?? No? Bent rim or hub is the most likely culprit. Good luck. Report your findings.

Well, it's hard to tell with the wheels spinning because of the way the tires spin. It has rear drive shafts that don't spin straight like a car. http://www.roketa.com/product/parts_detail.jsp?partId=49447&partName=V17.REAR DRIVE ASSY

And it's hard to find rims because they're 10" wide 12" diameter with a 4/108 bolt pattern and most sites go by make and model to find rims and parts and I have a knock off brand... Should have spent the extra money and gotten a real brand

they should still spin straight.... those are just a CV Axle just like ANY front wheel drive car

Bearings or bushings maybe??

Mud in the rims?

I traded it for a 2002 Honda trx 400ex race quad. I'm happier with that one. I should have bought one in the first place
