AB,

Thanks for the response, I kinda came to that conclusion but it sure nice to
have someone agree.  I have kept them lubed and do smack them on pretty hard.
Also if I detect the "spline klunk" I make sure to retighten them.  Thanks
again.

PS   When I bought this car, and was driving it home, I attempted to stop for a
red light, when I hit the brakes the front right wheel got on the east bound
I-70 on ramp while I continued northbound (about 15 feet)!  Bad spines!  :-)  Oh
well!
