I just replaced all the chain and a number of bearings, bearing flanges, ans all of that good stuff. After driving the Argo for a while I notice that some of the shafts move in because the locking collars had loosened off. I have found this with more than one so far so that makes me think that I just didn't miss tightening them. I can't see that excuse for more than one and the set screw have to be backed off to get them to re-seat on the bearings. Any reason anyone can think of why these can loosen off when they are hammered in place, and the set screw is tightened?
