Track day near Mishap
My buddy tracks an Integra. We were at the track today. Standing near his car just shooting the S between sessions. I looked at his front driver's wheel and noticed something seemed missing. After a couple seconds I realized the bolt that holds the axle into the hub was missing. Not only that but, the entire threaded end of the axle had sheared off. He'd come in from a session not long before. It he'd done out again, there was a good chance his wheel would have popped off because the hub WAS pulling out of the bearings.
What that re-enforces is, if you're at the track, you need to inspect between sessions. I already check my fluids, wheel torque and brake pads every session. Seems like I need to remove the center caps so, I can keep an eye on the axles too. |
