I remember my brother riding with me made a comment, "Hey your wheel is
sticking out" We were only going about 20 mph and the axle was slowly
working it's way out of the housing. Bummer. Scary thing is I was so poor
that I bought just one axle to replace it. Hope whoever I sold it to can
sit back and have a laugh about that old Sprite. It was a fun car.
