I installed my new axle a couple weeks ago with 1" spacers on each side. Tonight when I was adjusting my alignment I noticed that the quad was 1/2" wider on the left side due to the axle. Anyone else seen this?

I replaced the 1" spacer with a 1/2" at the left wheel and everything lines up properly now.

I have the lonestar axle its the same.I have one of the first axles and I noticed in the next batch the sprocket hub is way thicker moving the axle out to the right.I need to contact them to see about getting that hub and check whether there will be enough room left for the locknut.

The RPM comes with the sprocket hub installed and goes for $459. The locknut is extra but I don't remember how much, call R&S Performance.

Don't have enough time on mine to comment on the lock nut coming loose.

I got the RPM with sprocket hub and lock nut for about $460 from r&s.

The lock nut always comes loose.It always backs off just enough to give slack in the break hub.I am going to try some lock tight on it.

mxmike,

is it the stock lock nut backing off or the after market lock nut. the lonestar axle is $388 i wonder if it comes with the sprocket holder. probably so since they are such a pain to put on. any word on how the stock rear wheel hubs are holding up?

I have the antifade lock nut that came with it.

Motown got a lonestar with sprocket hub no lock nut for about $440.
