I had the same problem when I called they had me tighten the lower right wheel until the slack was taken up on the left? I dont understand it but it worked I was able to move the truck before now it is fine and the problem has not return for the last 50 hrs
The 2 bearings on the right as you look at the truck are cam action adjustable. They can vibrate and turn. I had a Y bearing loosen and a 1/8 of a turn fixed it.
The left bearings have a screw driver slot nut and must be removed to tighten.
The trick is to hold the screw head with a new #2 Phillips as the screws strip very easy.... And turn the nut....
My procedures are to mark the flat spot that will be facing out when tight with nail polish. Get the screw snug at the point where the flat spot is out then back off the wrench 1/8 of a turn and snug the screw. Hold the screw and tighten the wrench. Too tight and you snap off the screw, too loose and the bearing will turn.
When both right bearings are at max closed position on the rails is the correct position. You can't over tighten the position but you can snap off the screw.
Good Luck,
