Default CVA bone wobbling

I have a t4.2. The CVA bones are wobbling a lot. What causes this ?

they are probably bent and might need replacing.

Unless they wobble so bad they interfere with the a-arm, I wouldn't worry about it, it happens in OffRoad racing.

If they are bent you can often straighten them out some in a vice by tapping with hammer (taps, not swings btw).

As long as they do not bind you can usually run them safely, but if they are clicking into the arm or anything else at any point in the suspension travel you need to repair or replace them.

I am forever fixing this issue on my 1:8 buggy and truggy.

Could also be a blown out bearing or bearings in the hub. Shaft starts to get a slight bend and puts a radial load on the bearing and it will eat them for breakfast.

Leave the wheel on and spin it. If your shaft is bent, straighten or replace it. If its not, replace the bearings. If it still has a bad wobble, the hub may be worn out and the bearings is floating around.

Could also be the outer part of the axle is bent.
