Wheel bouncing

[mhansen644]

Hi my left rear wheel on my fg baja is bouncing alot.
Just needs balancing or shock problem? Ideas

listen this is nick from the track put the car on some thing level and put some thing under the chassis to lift the car up
take tires off and messure the hight of each hub see if its same hight.

I think your rose joints are worn. Have a look through the MT thread,Jackobyte has made an absolutely brilliant mod to stop the wheels tramping.
If its not there it will be in the General thread.

Thanks. Today I was only going about 2mph when the dog bone on the same wheel came out. easy fix, but I guess it is related to the wheel bouncing?

If you lift the back end & rev it does the wheel 'bounce' then? If so its your wheel bearing.

or the tire is full of mud and crap... always see holes inside the rim but I always put holes around the outside of the tire. water and stuff gets in but has nowhere to go, it stays inside the rims and destroys your foam... holes on the outside lets the crud escape when the wheel spins

Are you sure its balanced? Could be a build up of sand or mud oin the rim.
