[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 11955619, member: 11681"] [size=3][B]VERY HIGH PROBABILITY of a loose rear axle nut(36mm),[/B][/size] which will cause and can be a result of bad rear wheel bearings. Catch it early and you can save your rear knuckle bearings, wait too long and the knuckle bearings and the hub get trashed.
