I think considering the age of our Triumphs, one concern has been 
stresses on and breakage of the front stub axle due to cracks, and if a 
bearing has been spun a few times.

Some feel that this is a good reason to upgrade the axles to the Kastner 
influenced and stronger design simply due to ages and stresses.

So one good idea may be to pull your stub axles, have them magnafluxed 
for cracks before you put it all back together.
