I recently bought a set of new aluminum conmet uni mount hubs that fit my 46k rears. At $17.50 for the 4 I had to bring them home. I have seen lots of aluminum hubs on lighter spec otr stuff but will they hold together for the kind of abuse that heavy haul can give? Conmet says there rated for 23k axles
Any experience?
Aluminum drive axle hubs?

All you see down here is aluminum hubs with all applications. Been like that for 50 years since the SQ100 days. Unless you got spokes.

How much weight does it save?

Honestly I am more worried about breaking the drive flange studs out than them not holding the weightcke, shooter19802003 and CAXPT Thank this. -
I really don’t care about the weight
Honestly would have used iron hubs but these were to cheap -
PS: I wouldn't worry about them being aluminum, as long as they are rated at the weight you are interested in. Main thing is to have good lubricant and break chambers, so bearings would not get hot and break shoe would not lock.Last edited: Apr 19, 2022
