In Reply to: I put a new axle on my girlfriend's Subaru today, and when I toghtened the axle nut down the friggin thing STRIPPED! posted by RosenKen on August 25, 2002 at 19:12:14:
: And it won't come off now (I didn't try too hard). It actually drives without clunking or anything though. I guess I'll have to drill it off. The replacement does have a lifetime warranty. I mean, it didn't even start to get that tight, then wheee!, round and round it goes. : On the other hand, I replace her timing belt and crank/cam seals in a slow-paced 2 1/2 hours. Very easy to work on (it's a boxer engine)
did the axle strip or the actual nut that got stripped?
i would say get it done sometime soon...don't let it go unless you're selling it soon.
