Hi there.

I never tried an aftermarket hub, but I would encourage you to consider trying to hunt down such a product and learn as much as you can before pulling the trigger.

My wife was in #2 at a PCA DE at Thunderhill in June 2009 when she had a right rear hub/stub axle failure at about 90 mph under load.



Lots of damage and could have been worse.

My friend Scott had a 930 hub failure we discovered in the paddock at Thunderhill at a different event. Lucky.

Jerry W. told us he hadn't seen many.

But everything is getting old.

I bought some light use replacement spares from Partsheaven and had them crack tested... just gave away my final such spare to one of your competitors.

I suggest considering replacement of both sides at some point, and I'd consider replacing the stub axle or at least close inspection on the side where the hub failed.

Feel free to send me a PM.
