Thanks you Dave and to all who responded. New hubs will be on order ASAP! Anyone know of a vendor who is offering "good" prices on them?

'spun hubs' - a dangerous situation where the splines suddenly let go - strip right off the hub. I would go so far as to suggest not driving the car until the problem is resolved. There is very like

I've been watching the prices on items from the UK vs the domestic guys and the savings can be pretty big. I believe that there are deals to be had. I saved about 30% on an order I placed last month,

Hello listers, I have noticed with interest the same question of splined hubs keeps repeating itself on the list. As I have decided to give my long suffering wife of 42 years some sanity back into he

Whenever you buy new wheels, you should always buy new hubs. With this the combo will last the lifetime of your car... or yourself for that matter. I did this 20 years ago on my BJ8 (70K miles ago)
