Sam... sorry. Yes, axle inserted from the right (muffler) side, nut is on the left side. Hmmm... so why does the new gens come from the factory with the axle inserted from the left side?
IIRC, pregens come with the axle inserted from the right... perhaps they just cut and pasted instructions from that manual to the new gen?
Yes, I retorqued the front axle nut to proper specs when I was troubleshooting the wobble and it didn't make a difference. BTW, I still have the wobble, but my back tire is almost worn down, so I'll be installing a new set of tires soon. Hopefully the problem will go away then.
