There isn't normally an extraordinary amount of load on an axle in that
direction. The concept has been in use for years without problems, and is
thought to be more reliable than the C-clips that are used in other types of
axles. For what it's worth, the C-clip design is also pretty darned
reliable, until you start to really beat on it.




"I" before "E" except after "C", that's what I was taught during my years in
the public education system, although there are a number of exceptions to
the rule. English language is just a bitch.

I would think that a freeway turn or even better a slide on ice that stopped
abruptly on dry pavement, could potentially put thousands of pound of
pressure on that fitting. In either of those scenarios there would be even
a greater force trying to push the bearing on the outside of that lateral
movement on tighter. So I guess I can see how it would be difficult to ever
apply a strong lateral force that would try to pull it apart. The idea of
a C clip holding the axle does not seem strong enough either, but from
Bill's page that is not where they fail either, it is by sheering the axle.

The Brake Backing Plate has to go on before the bearings get pressed into
place.

I have the Superior axles now, and I had the Moser axles before that, and
the bearings are more than tight enough to hold the axles in place.

That would be "weak" point, not week point. And, no the bearing is not
pressed onto a weak point. Don't be nervous. It'll be fine.
