bigdogchevy98 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hey guys i'm a newer to the website and absolutely love all this banshee info. on here! Wondering if someone could help me out. I went to Silver Lake opening weekend 4/2, and did some drag racing and duneing. After some riding, my banshee started wobbling really bad in the back, i checked it over and the two axle nuts came loose and i could spin them with my fingers, i tightened them up and made a pass on the drag strip and it was wobbling again, and the two nuts came loose again. Would this mean that my axle bearings are possibly shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jereme6655 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 stock axle carrier? chances are your bearings are shot..... this happened to blueangel on here too. It started making a HORRIBLE sound while we were riding real slow and when we got back we threw a milk-crate under the frame and started her up. Then we fired it up and put it in first gear and let the axle rotate around on its own......couldn't have missed it if you were blind. The axle was wobbling back and forth....

robert.b.west Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I got mine from the swingarm shop on ebay. They are a bit heavier but they are half the price of everyone else. I do suggest the round style and get a new carrier. The +4 is $260 I think and I picked up a round carrier for around $100. If you decide to stay with the stock style carrier let me know if you need a new one. You can have mine just pay the shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
