Now Sandwich is cleaning the rear hub to look for previous damage--like spun bearings or visible cracks. I have seen hubs in the past where someone (a "professional" not to be named who should have known better) literally gouged the rear hub RIGHT AT THE ROOT of the shaft with some unknown tools. The gouges were 0.050 deep! We had to throw BOTH hubs away to fix the customer's car. Always best to check.
