Rear Hubs – As you are regularly removing and fitting wheels and
only using a basis wrench the tighten the nuts up, the actual attachment stubs may stretch
over a period of time due to over tightening, these will become week and fail at the wrong
time, it it recommended you check the length of the studs against a new one and if you witness
any extension then change ASAP.
Axle – Always check the axle has no bends in it, this will
happen if you have had any incidents on the track, rotate the axle at speed and you will
see the lateral movement if it is bent, you must change this immediately because if it is on
the engine side of the axle it will damage the main bearings in the engine, plus will cause
severe discomfort when out on the track.
