- 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,

- 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)
