After my Deer Valley trip a couple of weeks ago, it was time to rebuild my hubs and spindles. Bought a set of new Warn hubs, new hub and spindle bearings, etc.
Everything went back together just fine and the rig was back to normal, with hubs that actually reliably lock. Life was good. Last weekend to put a few more break-in miles on the ol' horse, I drove over to Santa Cruz for the day. During moderate to hard braking, my rig was pulling hard to the left - a scary amount. I finally found the culprit. Anybody care to venture a guess? I'll give a hint, it had nothing to do with the hubs or bearings.
PS - I just fixed it, and the rig is stopping like a champ again. My neighbors must love my laps around the block at dusk, 2500rpm shifts and all. It is becoming an all too common occurrence!
