panterrorMy 74 GTS

Fair point Mike. Not sure how wide spread that problem was. Your car is a 71; right? If we wanted to start a list of the inconsistancies in Pantera production that could lead to hazard when increasing the performance envelop, it could turn into a very long discussion. Not sure that is just a problem limited to Panteras.

Though for the reasons you mention it can be a serious matter, IMO this issue is more a matter of proper maintenance than inferior design.

One that come to my mind is the stock stub axles in the rear uprights never had the proper interference fit with the ball bearing thus the ball bearing was never properly preloaded and worse yet, often resulted in fretting of the stub axle often leading to premature failure.

Many things depended upon how much Vino Luigi had for lunch.

But then again, this site is for celebrating the Marque. I'm planning on having mine for a Lonnnnnggggg time!

Take Care,
Kelly
