Why do hubs get loose?
I was putting on my rear paddles when I felt a hub was loose, I took off the cotter pin, gave the castle nut 1/4 turn and put in a new pin, I remember tightning the nut when I changed alxes 4-5 months ago, the other hub was fine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

With the Lonestar Axcaliber, the stock hubs would not stay tight. I could put them on with an impact gun or long cheater bar and they'd still wobble after a little rough riding. I even soaked them in red loctite, only delayed the wobble a few days. As Baldwin Racing suggested, I bought Durablue rear hubs because they have a steel insert for the splines. They stay tight - no wobble.

Ubetran,
Thanks for the input I have a 2001 Alba Raptor and have an excalibur axle on the back with stock hubs. The hubs have slight free play (very minor) . It is irritating. I took the hubs off today greased them up slapped them back on then put the nut on with medium loctite as the manual suggests.
I am now going to buy the durablue rear hubs so there will be no wobble AT ALL.
Thanks
