I checked a spline adapter (that happens to be laying out) and the splines are
only about 1" long total. So I guess I don't
understand this statement.
Are you sure you are looking at an area that had splines originally? There is
really no way for them to wear "smooth" unless the
wheel was slipping on the splines (in which case the wheel is ruined as well).
The wheel and adapter tend to wear together anyway,
so it's best to replace them as a pair.
