Did you hit something hard with it? If so, check to see if any of the linkage or the fork is bent. Jack the mower up on that side and try to wiggle the tire back and forth. Can it be moved or is it tight on the axle? If it can be moved then the bearings probably need replacing. If not, then you probably have something bent.
Here is a website with a parts breakdown so you can see how all the parts fit together: >>>> http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Ariens-Parts/Riding-mower-tractor-Parts/Model-99180000101999999/3071/1506000/1011647P/00006?blt=06&prst=&shdMod= Check everything that connects to the tire for solid connections and bent parts. If you need to order a part, this website should do it for you.
Good luck.
Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate your vote. Thanks,
