 thought I would share similar story. Buyers beware. I bought a 72 midget   
years (too many to count) ago and drove it for about a week when all by   
itself my rear wheel decided it no longer wanted to have anything to do   
with me , my car or my driving habits. It seems the previous owner needed   
a new spline/hub and installed one from a wrecking yard himself. That is   
fine and dandy except that he put a left rear spline and nut on the right   
year. needless to say my emphatic driving may have contributed somewhat.   
FWIW
