Mike, I'm pretty sure I have the socket that fits it. If it's not loose though, could be time for new bearings

Re: uhhh oh!

Doesnt that happen cuz of the bushings? I believe the stock bushings are nylon so they deform easily.. especially from doing stoppies.. I think you can replace them with brass or something..
