Ali C Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 can happen when a bolt isnt quite done up enough or a frame flexes. The problems start when the crack spreads thurther down and onto the bearing race, thats bad. You can either ride it and keep checking it, replace the axle or get an engineer to make a new end up (seen it done before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 mine's super broked there, but the needle race is fine so it's all dandy.it's how i got my first hd axle replaced, because the crack spreaded to the needle race. it's a crappy design using a very hard but brittle material for the end bit, CK should have opted for something a bit softer and more ductile...
