I  think that there would have to be a significant amount of axial load 
transmitted from the hub end of the half shaft  to the trailing arm.  I'm no 
engineer, but this means of locating the hub seems lousy.  However, Triumph 
in their wisdom used it for 11 years without changing it.  I know that 
autocross/race types upgrade this part of the drivetrain.  Is anyone aware of 
failures i.e.: the hub breaking away from the trailing arm studs?
