Goll Darn It All!!!!!!!!

It happened yet again.

Another rear hub ductile iron insert has separated from my CB Performance Wide Five rear hubs. This is the third set to go in less than 1 year. And I live in Michigan so I didn't even drive the car for six months this past winter! I'm nearing the end of my rope here and I need some advice.

I like the way the wide 5's look so I dton't want to give that up. And I really like 4 wheel disk brakes too, and I don't want to give that up either.

So it looks like I have a few options:

1. Try another set of CB hubs and hope for the best.
2. Switch to another brand of rear hubs, (what are YOU using?)
3. Drive it the way it is and let the wheels fall off.
4. Take the car behind the shop and torch it.
5. Drink heavily and do nothing.

I am curious what everyone else/anyone else is using? Everyone can't be using the CB ones, are they?

LOL only $500!!!

I read that response and for a second I thought Simon came over here...

I stared at it for a few hours last night trying to think of ways this could happen. I have one conclusion: Microbrews are GREAT!

Looks like Option 5 is my only refuge, for now...

There is a new set of hubs are on the way (with design changes to help alleviate this problem), I'll install them Friday and time will tell...
