Default Busted axle

So here's the carrier that holds this little POS "stub axle" --- which in turn holds the wheel on the car!





Pretty simple job -- take the tire/wheel off -- undo the half shaft u-joint - and unbolt the bearing assembly.







The NEW bearing assembly with stub axle.








Big difference in old (right side) and new (the other right side - HAHAHAHAHA)








The OLD - WEAK - Twisted and sheared versions.... Note how clean this POS is sheared off!











When you shear it like this -- there is NOTHING holding the wheel to the car except the pressure of the tire holding it in place. Hit a big enough bump and you "could" separate the two pieces and end up doing some major "oh craps".
