Tracker dart axle issues???

[eastvalleymike]

Just wondering if anybody has ever had an issues with ther Trackers or any trucks for that matter. My friend has now expierienced this promlem numerous times. Somehow it seems after a while of use the axle seems to shift in the hanger, just about an hour ago he was cruising in the street in front of the house, went for a hard carve/slash and BAM wheel flew off!! Tooks us quite a while to find the nut and the bearing (which was nowhere near the scene of the crime). Upon trying to reinstall the wheel onto the truck we see that there is barely any room for the nut to go on. This has happend on one other truck before (the magic shortning of the axle), and one truck came like that from where ever he ordered it from (that one resulting in a wheel flying off during a Coleman slide)

Please note that these trucks were fine when the wheel were first put on, with the exception of the one that came offset.
Just wondering if anybody has heard of this before???

You can just make sure to tighten the trucks evenly so the axle stays in the middle. I have a set of trucks that do this and they are fine as long as I keep the wheels tightened evenly and then they are held in place by the wheels.

The axles will pull to one side or the other if the nuts are cranked down too hard... use a couple of bearing spacers and crank it back to center...8)

My guess is that the axle was fine until the nut failure. Any locknut will not perform after a few re installs.

Measure the Axle offset and crank it back to center!8)
