You may be able to save it. Worst case you pick one up at a junkyard or new aftermarket like rockauto I know has them. Your right some of these parts are getting scarce.lol

What all do you have planned for your 1g project? I'm in the Gambrills 21054 area and go down to MIR on occasion. I could got to capital raceway which is basically down the street but it's usually super crowded and I get minimal runs.lol

Tmoney20g yes the axles NOT being in will cause that play. The force of the axle and the axle nut being torqued puts pressure on the hub and inner races of the wheel bearing. I will tell you this if you where to in theory pull hard enough on the wheel you could pull the wheel with the hub and...

Also i don't know the locations of the grounds for that circuit, but it wouldn't hurt to check them. Yes...

Ahhhh see that makes sense! I figured it had to have been a loose or shorted ground/power issue from what you were describing. Glad it's sorted out now!

Sounds like a possible loose ground/ power issue. Do you have access to a service manual to see what common grounds/power supplies they may share? Also couldn't hurt to check fuses, mabe somthing blew from the issue the night before.
