Maybe Mopar is right!

The acr hubs I just changed out had over 25 hours of w2w track time. Thing alot of it has to do with what type of tracks you run and car setup.

I experience a hub failure this year at Sebring and my hubs only had approximately 10 hours on them, when it failed it snapped the axle and luckly the wheel did not exit the car before I got it stopped. After being put on a flat bed and brought back into the pits upon jacking the car the whole wheel assembly fell off. What Chris Childs told me was to check the torque on your hubs every session for two or three times and them make it pre race weekend check. The hub tends to back off and allows to much slack. But yes you need to change these every 12 hours of track time to be safe.

The ACR hubs are on national backorder up here- there was 7 on b.o. this morning when I phoned my dealership, now there is 11, since I run a Neon ministock too. If they don't show in a couple of weeks I may have to start beating the bushes for a source. Any suggestions?

I had to go with the Napa Hub, they make a Heavy Duty Hub which is thicker than a stock neon. IIRC the stock hub flange is 8mm, the ACR is 10mm and the napa flange is 9 and change, plus you can get them for around $80 each if you have an shop acct.

Napa is a block from my shop. I shall inspect, and look for "Made in China" signs. Thanks!

Check with your dealer regarding this # 04670292 (ACR)

This is the hub only. The Hub and bearing kits are all gone and not likely going to return from what my sources @ Mopar tell me.

The napa part is junk, I would only use it in a pinch.

Email me for further info.

Cheers

I've got over 10 hrs on my "NAPA-junk" hubs & bearrings with ZERO problems. During which, I even had a braking problem that melted & warped a set of Hawk Blues. Since I run the same tracks as Darryl & he was using the ACR hubs, how can you say which is better or worse (ACR vs NAPA)????????????

Quick poll:
Which Hub/Bearring were you using when it failed??
1) ACR (mopar)
2) non-ACR (mopar)
3) NAPA
4) other
