This thread has got me concerned.

I have the tapered rollers without spacers.  I really am concerned as it
makes sense that the spindle will be stronger with the inner races and
the spacer combining to strengthen it.

Does anyone race with the tapered rollers and no spacer?  That would be a
great test of strength.

I really need to pull the hubs and crack test the spindle.  I am sure big
tires and more HP have stressed them.

Anyone have any failures??
