I had recently discovered I was missing a tension nut on one side and have ridden like this without kowing for some time. Today as I fixed this I noticed my outside wheels were wobbling. Fearing bushings I pulled them out and checked the bearings, they were fine.
Here is my axle question.
When tightening the axle the hex nut is butting up against the axle itself. I have torqued it but after I can spin the axle with a wrench so it appears it is not tighting on the rails. Is this correct. Also the wobble in the bushings seems to be an incorrect spacing with the spacer not hitting the bearing. Any insight would be appreciated.

Do you have all the washers.

thats what the point of the axel spacers and washers are for so u can tightn without affecting spin of wheels. the more you tighten though the harder it is to adjust track tightness. put som blue lock tight on it and snug it up

From looking at the fiche I say yes. I am suprised it didn't tighten securley on the rails. I haven't take the whole assemly out yet, but plan to do so in the spring as I am going to send the mono shock to half baked for their rebuild. Just wasn't sure if this is how it is supposed to be.APEX 06 said:

It' is tight but still have a slight wobble in the wheels. Just seems weird to me, but then again I am just getting into my own servicing and am learning as I go.granto211 said:
