Post by: wubbert on 15, June, 2011 - 20:01:58
Hello,

my left wheel was wobbly....i saw that the spline in the wheel was totally worn out...
but the spline on the axle is (as far as i can see) in good shape...
i think the nut was not tightend enough and the axle won because it's steel
and the wheel spline is aluminium :-\

correct me if i'm wrong

Oh yes, Carl sorted me out with a new hub, and my C5 is good as new.
