Re: Rear hub nut tightness questions.

Dr. Noose, what probably happened to your car in the past is the hub slipped. Then by spinning it enlarged by a few thousands. The taper does not allow it to go further so it never gets tight enough. There are other solutions but cheapest is to use a bit of aluminum from a can, wrap axle area where hub contacts. The aluminum will fit via the force of installing hub. Realize there are different thicknesses between cans say Coors light compared to 7up. Rear hubs are around $400? Later Dave the Wave
