Question Anyone having HUB problems too???

Okay, so here's the story:

I track my car A LOT. And, I run a lot of rubber on the back. That puts a lot of strain on the hubs/axles.

A few months back I noticed my car "wiggling" under heavy accelleration. It felt like I was losing traction. But, it was actually the rear hub. It was so bad that the wheel almost fell off. The dealer fixed it.

Well, now I am having the same problem with the driver's side. I'll be taking the car in next week to have it fixed too. No biggy...

Just wondering if anyone else has had this same problem???

I wouldn't tell the dealer you track your car hard if you expect them to keep replacing those wheel hubs for free

Out of curiosity, how wide are your rear tires and what type are they? R-compound?
