Mine does the same thing, so I put a washer in there. It's now more stable than any of the other wheels. I'd put the same washers on the other wheels. but I don't have anymore, and I don't remember where I got em from.

Anytime. Just remember not to tighten them down too much with the washers or you'll strip your lugs.

The wheel lugnuts bottom out before tightening the wheel down. Drill a hole thru the end of the lugnut so the axle can pass thru. You could also buy the aluminum lugnuts (locking) with the pass thru.

I tried that, but it was still very wobbly. The washer works better than even the metal lugs did.
