2000 honda recon rear right wheel hubs going bad

I just replaced a bad one not to long ago and it was fine for a while then it went bad again after a day of riding. I have no clue why it's doing this?

Is the spline on the rear axle end that slips into the hub still in good shape?

I don't believe so but how do I fix this?

If the axle's steel spine is not right it will just eat up the softer alloy hubs. The only thing is to get a new axle or some people weld the hub onto the axle and buy themselves a few years.

Could I somehow make new splines by cutting notches or would this not work?

Never head of a person fixing a axle spline end. Even if you could get a machine shop to do it by the time you remove the axle you might as well buy a new or used one off ebay.
