I haven't had a chance to break it down yet, but would anyone have any idea why I have.a slight wobble in my rear tire? Granted, there's one little bolt on there holding the tire on....Duh!!!!......but when I "wiggle" the tire, there a slight bit of play. Is there an adjustment behind this tire? The one screw holding the tire on is pretty snug. Just wondering if there's another screw or bolt or something behind the tire when I take it off that should be tightened? Any thoughts would be great. Thanx.
 
No, when I'm driving it its fine. I just took it out yesterday and did a little after run maintenence. I noticed there was a little "play" in wheel. Nothing serious. I'm just a super picky person when it comes to my truck. It needs to be perfect. If ya know what I mean. LOL.:)
 
Clutch bearing shims work well on the stub axle. Sometimes one is needed behind the drive pin. Just make sure the rim isn't binding when the wheel nut is cranked down. If the wheel gets hard to spin once it's tight, take the shim back out.
