I believe I know the answer, but would like confirmation - are the splines on this hub knackered?
Thank you in advance.

The first photo looks serviceable, as long as you can't rock the wheel back and forth (without the spinner in place), but the second photo looks like it could be a textbook example of very worn splines. Hopefully the wheels look better than the hubs or you will need to replace both.

This car had a rough life. I think it’s breathing a sigh of relief as I slowly fix her up.
The wheels are in roughly the same shape as the hubs… :banghead:
