broken hub again
Well, a year ago, I broke the right rear hub. I ran PIR a week ago. In inspecting my cobra tonight, the left rear hub is broken. Its a hi-tech with the jag style spline and pin drive hub. The hub broke in half at the outside of the outside bearing, same as the right rear a year ago. Thank you for the nut and cotter pin or by by wheel. I have always thought that the bearing placement on these hubs are not correct. The outside bearing is still inside of the wheel face. Both sides were set up with new bearings and adjusted properly, similar to a front hub adjustment wise. It does not have the jag crush washers/bearing just regular taperd bearings on both sides. I don't know if I should redesign this or get a harder compound for new hubs. Anybody else heard of this happening? Bob Putnam? Any suggestions? And this is with a small block and bias ply slicks. help. Scott
