I took a hard lick a couple of weeks ago flattrack racing. the aluminum wheel ended up looking like a over cooked jack in the box taco! I've got a new set of wheels on the machine , but something is not right. Its not the tie rod, aarms or stem. The only other thing I can think of is the knuckle. It shows no sign of any cracking and it is cast? what do you think?

The wheel was wobbling, It looked like a TACO. It has been replaced. I tore it apart last night, I cant find anything bent, I even pulled my tie rod ends out, No damaged threads. WTF?:mad:

Could it be the spindle stud? Some have had problems with those, and I know Walsh and HardKor offer stronger replacements.

What exactly is it that makes u think "somethings not right"... Does it pull to one side, or wobble, or what are the symptoms.
