[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 109508, member: 586"] I suspect (and really we do not know) that the shimming of the axle was not accurate. This would have pre-loaded the bearings causing them to overheat, dry out and then start to weld to the cups. This would cause the axle and hub to rotate as one. This would eventually lead to rotation of the tommy bar after quite some time. Graham said the lip nut had disappeared before he used a non original replacement. That the entire rear axle arrangement was acting as a single unit would mean there were meany kilometres involved in the destruction. I am sure it does not need micro-analaysis as no animals were harmed in the process. Anyway, I am a chemist so am open to more cogent suggestions. [/QUOTE]
