Saw a post about wheel hubs again and it got me thinking. What do we know about why our hubs fail?
We might think they are cheap or poorly made and sure there is some merit in that line of thinking. Lower cost hubs typically do have a higher failure rate. What else causes them to go though, the W body cars have a high failure rate overall for wheel hubs. Some of the 00+ H bodies do the same. The H's dont' seem to have as much of an issue though.
I'm thinking that some of this may be drive line angles, etc. Surely as we lower our cars, cradle space, and change dogbone length we are changing the geometry. Maybe most of our problems are caused by us?
I'd like to hear thoughts, ideas etc or if you've experienced more/less issues based on mods.
