I would check to make sure you don't have a stripped rear wheel hex. It's the little plastic hex nut thing that slips in your rear wheel. Also make your your back wheel nuts are nice and tight. Hope this helps...

hey flashloot my tirer wobbles back and forth when I go and I noticed the black plastic thing is broken when I take the tirer off is that the problem?

First, make sure your steering trim is strait (dont adjust it to take off strait, but make it go strait down the rroad). ALso, a very commonly overlooked problem is that the exhaust has oil in it, whichg ets deposited on the left tire. WHen when both tires are spinning, the right gets a little more traction and pushes the truck to the right. Although it doesnt have as much of an affect offroad. Still, you can either not floor it all the time, or you can buy a 360 pipe. The 360 Pipes will make your truck more off balance in the air and it can snuff out if you land far back on the rear end.

This is the nature of the transmission. It is not a locked transmission so when you give it all the throttle it is possible for one wheel to spin and the other to not spin. Having a transmission like this is a benefit. It will allow for easier cornering since both wheels are not powered at the same time. Most full size cars are like this (unless they are posi-track).

I don't see anything wrong or anything needing to be investigated.

Now, if there is a noise associated with the issue then there is a problem.

Well I'm by no means an expert but I would say that you should probably get a new hex nut as soon as possible. As for your wobble in the tires I would say that's probably just the way they are mounted on your rims. Mine wobble pretty bad too. By the way Fusion I love your sig man! That's awesome! (been wanting to tell you that for a while now...) hehe!
