Please help, I do not want to give up my Buggy

Hello All, Update for you all, I removed the cotter key from the drivers side rear axle nut, then prepared to take the axle nut off, it was not even tight??????? I then tore the disk hub off and bigger than heck, and like everyone said, it was round as my tire, no splines at all. I ordered a new dis...

Thank you for the advice, I will pull the hub this Weekend and inspect, will this cause the tire and wheel to lean as well?

Thanks,

Rick

All,
So it appears that the axle nut is still tight and the cottor pin is still in place, how could this strip the splines on the axle??? Could the axle be pulled out from the transaxle, I am Miffed

Thanks all in advance,

Rick

My rear end is perfect, however, the front end is very very stiff. I do not drive it hard at all and do not need this kind of stiffness. Tha...

Thanks 1856,
Are these easy to install?

Thanks for your help
Rick

All I know is it is a king pin from a 1962 beetle

Does that help?

Hello All,
I was driving my little buggy and noticed my front left tire is out further on the top then the bottom, is this adjustable and is this a difficult job?

Thanks,

Rick

Sounds like a plan
