Had crazy tilt steering 'til I fixed it.

My view from an IQ DS. Next day it was solid ice.

Hey question for you guys on the hubs, say the hubs are stripped are they made to "wear" to avoid stripping the splines on the axles? picked up a new to me 2008 txt for $100, well the said hubs are stripped. Ordered 2 new ones today. Hoping that's all it is, dont want to have to buy axles either. Thanks!

Usually the hubs go first. If it happens again, replace the axle. I always impact tighten the castle nut in the middle.

I use a torque wrench, as it's easier for me to line up the cotter pin hole. I know about how much each 1/2 turn adds torque, and try to land on the higher end of the range.
