[Shotimes] Rear Wheel Bearings 89

[Zach Leahy]

I have had good luck just tightening the nut onthe rear bearings
slightly.  I had a bit of wobble in one several years back and just
tightened it a bit and it has been fine ever since.

BTW, welcome to the problem with doing autocross and other performance
driving things... you start breaking stuff.  You'll know how to fix
everything here soon.
