I switched cars part way thru last year, so in the off season I had my shop go thru the car and replace
all of the unknown wear items on the new car.
One of the things that was done was replacing the rear hubs and bearings. The parts were from Mazda. Everything
in the corner was new other than the knuckle itself.
Last weekend, the LR hub failed, spinning me in the wall at Thompson. Fortunately it was a light tap of the wall, so the car was easily made drivable again at the track.
My logs had me at 28 hours and about 1000 miles so far this year. I run in ITA, and time trial, so I run a mix of tires (nitto, ra1 and sm7).
In hindsight, I had a couple of odd spins to the left the prior weekend and the lap before it broke. I had written them off to driver error, but they might have been signs of what was failing.
I'm going to have the RR disassembled to see if it shows any signs of looming failure.
Both corners are being replaced with knuckles from Drago--thanks for getting the parts out to me so quickly, Jim.
I know we've seen some other front hub failures recently, but have folks seen the rears fail?
