Hi Folks, I'm Scott201, the new guy. I need some advise. I've got a bass tracker boat(2004) and the right side tire is wearing very fast, on the outside. A mechanic tells me that it's hardly ever the axle, probably wheel bearing deal. But I don't feel any thing when I shake the wheel. I did some measuring on the axle and the right side is out by 3/4 of a inch ( is that bad?) I also noticed that the axle has a slight upward bend in the middle. Not from any apparent damage that I can tell. It that the way it's supposed to be?
What is causing my tire to wear so fast? And what can I do to fix it at a small cost to my wallet?
Any help or suggestions would be gratly appraciated, thanks alot
scott210 3-27-07, Hey Guys.....This problem is really bugging me! My axle shows a apparent natural crown. I did measure the alingment, it's off by 1/2 inch on the problem side. How easy is that to fix, could I do it? If need be, could I install a new axle myself?
Any other suggestions would be graetly appreciated!! Thanks in advance...scott201
