Default Re: Axles, just a thought

Correct me if my thinking is off on this worn axle subject. My thinking is if you have a loose fit between the axle and old original hub the problem is because the hub has expanded over the years. My thinking is the axle would not shrink to a smaller size over time due to compression. If one purchased new hubs the axle /hub taper would again be a tight fit and no need for axle shims. I previously had to use axle shims but they were not needed after I installed new hubs. I think my old original hubs had expanded over time. Please comment on my thought process.
Thanks Randy
