The front hubs and tires of my son's Suzuki eiger have some wobble to then, removing the tire shows the hub has some play in it. Would this be from worn bearings or some other problem?

Thanks in advance.

9/10  its wheel berrings  i break them all the time on my eiger  very easy and cheap todo.  check the knuckle between the upperball joint   and tie rod    they tend to crack right there alot also.  anything else u need on eiger feel free to post or pm i am the man at working on them   i got a pink  and green one on tractor tires   with lift and motor work also

Thanks for the help, the tie rods seemed fine but even with the tires off you could move the hub and shaft. Is there 2 bearings on each side and would you normaly repalce the dust seal when doing the job.

there is one bearing in the side make sure knuckle not cracked and if u need a dust sheild    get it if not than dont     they break alot  so buy alot of bearings and also the main bushing for the steering goes out alot too  but u def got bad bearngs  i am 100% sue if the hub is moving.   if u live down south i can do them for small fee

Hey Matt, thanks again, I'm in Jupiter, otherwise I might take you up on the offer.

According to the diagram I have seen, they have a bearing, spacer, bearing again, then dust sheild on the outside of the stearing knuckle. On the inside of the knuckle is just a dust sheild. Which items do you need to buy, all of them?

if your seals   are in good shape   just get 2 number 14  for each side.    cheack ebay they should have the whole kit for $29.99   that comes with both side bearings  and seals.   they do need to be pressed in and out.  or hammer and a  punch works good also.   anything else u need just post up.   i am up around turnpike and exit 133 alot its only hour  from my house.

Thanks for the ebay tip, thats awsome, hge savings over buying from the dealer.

My son seems capable of the job, going to have him do it. Thanks again for the help, it use extreamly useful, I owe you one.

glad i could help   if u never need anthing o do work on all types of bikes.
