When out riding today, most of it was spend in some nice thick slope. Ended up taking the splines out of the left hub. Is this a come problem? if so i get 2. Its a 82 200 with dirt dog rear tires.

Aggressive tires and a loose hub nut will cause this all day long. If the nut is torqued down solid and a cotter pin in place, it shouldn't happen.

Age does have it's affect though.......

I use a thick waterproof grease on all my splines and they stay as good as new. Dry, rusty worn splines and a nut not tightened down can cause this.

Most people just weld them on at this point as it's easier than taking out and replacing the axle and hub; It is what it is.............
