kaymar spare wheel carrier

Haven't had that problem. Do you mean there is a lot of free-play in the way the wheel sits on the bolts (3 on mine) or that the plate doesn't tighten up against the wheel ?

Hi Geoff ,
I have one and have not had any problem .
Willie .

Is vibration the problem?
Maybe replace with Nyloc nuts?

Take it back to ARB Northern and get them to fix it. Shouldn't be loose.

Hi Geoff,
Not wanting to hijack your thread, just a quick query about the cost.
My 80 wheel carrier is a no-brand type with a greasable pivot but no bearing. However 14ys has worn the guts out of it and there's loads of slop.

So Kaymar carrier is on the 'wanted' list.
How much did you pay for the carrier and how much for labour?
Cheers

I dont have a wheel carrier but we are thinking of geting one I priced one from ARB and they want $3800 is this the sort of Money you payed ?

They may be good but are they $3800 good ?

I will say that rear wheel carriers cop a hiding as soon as you go off-road.

I have a Kaymar Dual which I think has a similar arm arrangement to yours although it doesn't sound like yours has the problem mine had.

The "stud plate" is held onto the arm by two 1 inch bolts that screw into it through the stud plate's securing post. The top part of the arm had actually cracked where the bolts go through, on my last simpson trip and had to be reinforced and welded back together.

You might check closely that nothing is breaking.

Cheers
Andrew.
