Has anyone had this issue and what was the cause?
The problem initially started after getting water in the swivel housing which intern ended up in the hub ceasing the outer bearing. The bearing spun on the stub axl, thust washer broke the tab off and in-turn loosened the bearing.
I replaced the bearing out in the middle of no where whith a new one. At the time I didn’t have a replacement thust washer and for the next 1000 klm to get home I had to retighten it 4-5 times on the side of the road.
After getting home I pulled it all down replaced all the seals in the swivel housing, re greased all the bearings.
Just been away again on a little bit of corrugated road and again it has come loose.
I have my suspicions of what may be causing it but want to hear from other experience.
Thanks in advance
