This stuff worked fine when it left the factory, why do you think it will work with less than half the torque spec on a worn out taper surface. The taper needs a 90% contact surface to stay tight. The maximum torque spec for 5/8-18 and the steels involved is 240 ft lb. If you can't get to 200 minimum, you are probably using Chinese parts and they will come loose. |

Re: Rear Hub Torque
I'm wonderin' if the OP (KenBolton) is using the proper original style nuts, as on the left in the attached pic, not the "modern" ones as on the right.

Re: Rear Hub Torque
Have you checked the depth of the keyway in both the axles and the hubs? That could tell you if the axles or the hubs are the problem.

Re: Rear Hub Torque
I don't know. Heck I always made sure I had a good axle key, then tightened the thing down good, put the key in it and went on...
