well.. i got home from work yesterday.. and i jumped on my blaster and rode for a bit, and i landed really rough on a jump.. well. i rode really easily home, cuz where i happened to be riding, there's a noise ordienence after 930.. BUT.. when i got in my driveway.. i railed the throttle back, and my axle kicked to the side a little bit.. and i could feel when i punched the throttle that it kept kickign to the side... i gotta take the axle off and look at it yet.. but im very, very busy right now. .and i was wondering if anyone wanted to troubleshoot for me.. im like 99% sure my axle is nottt bent/broken or anything..

what could it be...suspension is my gray area.. i dont know a lot about it other than shocks and a-arms.. im a motor guy :/
i was thinking i might have f*cked my bearrings up? but im not sure... soemone wanna shoot me some ideas before i attempt to pull it apart (saves me a little bit of time and effort, cuz im swamped these next 2 months)
 
i'd say check your tensioners... i had this happen to me on a warrior everytime you punch it feels like the rear end was coming out front under you on one side. it looked tight but i took both tensioners off and the one side the nut was stripped out on the back side of the tensioner
 
hm, my kids LT the back seems like it wants to pass you going from left to right like when doing fish tales but it does it going straight even on asphalt... I shimmed a washer between the motor and frame (the motor is used as a swingarm on these).... think it helped but had throttle sticking issues and didn't ride much lol. we'll see tomorrow if changing the cable helped or if the slide is getting stuck :(
