I just put a new rear wheel bearing in and the car was driven only a couple of times and the damn nut came off of the CV shaft. I torqued the nut to 250 Ft lbs. The splines looked pretty darn worn out and i think it was rocking back and forth on the splines even with the nut tight. I know the splines in the the hub are worn but the CV shaft splines will be changed on principle. Before i fork out the money though, is there a way to measure the CV shaft splines? Also has this happened to any one else? On a side note i knew the splines were worn before putting it back together but had no clue this would happen. Meh.. i am out a 30 dollar bearing for taking the $400 gamble on whether it stayed together. The hub is $150 and the CV shaft end is $187. Plus shipping. I just thought it would twist the splines out of the hub not loosen the nut.
