The A1 hub problem is a well known, and well documented issue. It was mentioned in Greg Raven's book back in the mid-80's. I've heard of the Prod guys getting them cryo-treated, which has increased their life. Torquing the living crap out of the axle nuts is key. And, I always use new axle nuts every time I take them off.


I'm not sure if cryo-treating the hubs would be legal in IT or not.

As far as spares, I always had a fully built set of front corners w/ me at the track, along w/ a pair of axles. There was more than one occasion where they were needed, either by me, or by a competitor.
