Good question Rat. A loose axle nut will cause all sorts of wear issues in the assembly. A vague and not very meaningful assertion. :-( A bent stub axle will cause more wear and grief to the bearings and bearing housing. From the Samba list threads on the subject. The spacer sleeve is not considered a wear item. From a few reported measurements of used spacer-sleeves, they appear to measure out as new @ 42.8 mm in length. Others? Pz
