I would just get a new bushing for you stem. You know that grease zerk directly underneath your handle bars? That's what you want. Mine got loose on me and I replaced that bushing. After that, the slop was gone.

 

So all I need to get is a new bushing and zerk? Partsland.com has the bushing and zerk for like $3.50 each.

 

I don't remember if I got a new zerk or not.... But it wouldn't hurt.

 

Just ran out and looked at the quad.... I did not get a new zerk! I just got the bushing.

 

same thing here, just replaced bushing not zerk. felt way better'also i would check the bolts for your stem again.

 

Would it definitely be the bushing that needs to be replaced? Theres no other reason why it would be loose? Thanks again for the help!

 

Should I also get the bracket for the bushing too, or will I not need it?

 

take out your stem and get it straightened, i bet thats the most of it. when i bent mine from wrecking i thought it was the bushing, but the stem was so bent that it flopped around, 15 bux to push it out at my napa store. or free if i was home

 

I just got my bushing in the mail today from Parts Land. I dont know if I ordered the right one, but its a black plastic piece in a circular shape?

 

Also Check the middle nutr that connects the stem to the steering system. Mine was real wobly too and found that the nut was coming loose. tightenrd it and the play went away.

The castle nut at the bottom of the stem comes loose. The four bolts that hold the idler arm bracket comes loose. They've caused me some problems far out on a trail one time. I replaced it all with grade 8 hardware and locktite. No more loose steering problems.
