Review on Rigid Hitch Pair of 5-Bolt on 4.5 Inch Hub Assembly (AKSQ-2000545) with (2) 1 Inch Straight Square Spindles and Bearings by Kenny Sarma

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall quality of parts

Good quality overall but after installing the axles I noticed the castle nut was not screwed in deep enough to use the cotter pins provided. I've tried multiple times on both axles and could only open about 1/2 of the hole with proper preload on the bearings. Either the plugs were not machined properly or the pinhole was set too wide. I was only able to thread a piece of 3/32 TIG wire through the hole to hold the axle nut. No big deal, easy fix.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Generally ok but...
