Hi there - I have read somewhere (can’t find it again) that when installing the stub axle the ‘slot’ through the threaded section is facing upwards.
I can’t see why, but if it is I may have put my back axle together incorrectly. If this is the case is it worth redoing?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2122b9e9e4.jpg
As far as I know, the only reason is so you can make sure the tabs are properly in the slot before doing up the nuts!
Thanks for that - I think I read that is was so that the lube dripped back- but I couldn’t work it out!
I guess I’ll be happy and leave it as it is.
I also wondered this and saw no reason why facing up is required. The back of the stub axle face mating to the swivel housing/or axle is plain, although i did read somewhere that later model series 3 have a change?
Late Series 3 stub axles changed, but that was to accommodate different bearings. Nothing to do with where it bolts to the axle housing.
