Debbit Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Probably the first thing I learned about here was the axle recall and to check for 6 lugs. I haven't seen too much about the front axle though. Is 5 ok there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I've never heard of any problem with the 5 lug front end unless you consider having mis-matched bolt patterns a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Some of the five-lug fronts have lesser brakes then with 6 lug. Never heard of it being a safety issue though. Recall was about rear wheels falling off and creating a hazard. Both from axles breaking and the wheels themselves cracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbit Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks! Just wondered, as our last camping trip up to Mt Lemmon involved some pretty rough roads, and I got to thinking about it. Rader did good on those steep grades tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
