One lister thought that worn splines had caused the loss of your wire wheel. A badly worn spline will only allow the wheel to spin freely on the hub but not seperate from the hub. If you or your mec

something I don't understand... when people mention the idea of the knock offs being on the wrong side of the car... how can you do this? Wouldn't the hub itself have to be on the wrong side for the

the I was speaking from personal experience, not conjecture or theory. When the brakes are applied, the front right wheel will come completely off the car -- the knock off, which loosens clockwise o

The only thing I ever had happen on bad splines was when I hit the brakes, and I hit them hard, was that famous "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" sound, the inability to stop efectivly and the added bonus of having

The above is a dangerous misstatement that could prove injurous to other parties. I'll say it ONE MORE TIME for clarity, folks. WORN SPLINES ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE MAY IN FACT, WITH GREAT

<snip> This is correct, except it can actually happen on either side. Consider : with properly installed hubs/adapters, the knockoffs have to be turned in the normal direction of travel to unscrew.

... ... Isn't that the path for us creating a new thread about loosing a regular disk wheel? You have to cut down the studs to fit the wire adapters. I thought the remaining stud was too short to use
