I just noticed that my sprocket hub has some play on my lonestar axle. I've also read where thats quite common. How big of a deal is that?- should it be replaced right away or just run it?

that usually happens when the axle lock nut/anti-fade is loose. Check the axle nut, tighten it. And if it keep loosening, your anti-fade is worn and/or your carrier bearings. No, that isn't common to happen. With proper maintence, it should stay tight w/o play.

i'd say its fairly common with aluminum sprocket hubs.

I had a few wear out also, the culprit was the anti-fade was loosening. A few bad carriers also. No more play in the hubs since.
