> Bad splines don't cause wheels to fall off. Loose hub/rotor nuts and/or
leftside
> on rightside/rightside on leftside splined hubs.
The above is a dangerous misstatement that could prove injurous to other
parties.
I'll say it ONE MORE TIME for clarity, folks.
WORN SPLINES ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE MAY IN FACT, WITH GREAT
PROBABILITY, CAUSE THE KNOCKOFFS TO UNSCREW AND THE ENTIRE WHEEL TO FALL OFF
WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. Hub nuts have nothing to do with this occurance.
They could be WELDED on and the wheel would still fall off.
This is NOT a point that can be debated or argued. At least not with me,
because it HAPPENED to me. It is a FACT backed by the laws of physics,
pressure and motion -- and unfortunately, personal experience.
