Stub Axle questions
I'm going to have to replace my stub axles. I'm wondering if anyone knows what OEM steel was used or what common replacement axles ( from sponsor vendors for example ) are? I've called and don't get any specific info other than "They're from the U.K.!".
I've located chrome moly stub axles and would like to know if it's worth extra expense, which is not enormous, and the shipment / import fees to get these? Seems a more direct solution and more permanent than bearing savers.

New stub axles are available from David Manners, SNG Barratt, XKs Unlimited etc. Forget bearing savers, say I. Often on ebay too.

Yep, Loctite is the go.
Before that, on my MK7, I used a centre punch at 3 spaced distances around the inner bearing seat circumference of the stub, and that inner bearing was then a TIGHT fit, and the wheel wobble ceased. This was in 1968, and way before Forums and stuff, "ya kept em going as best you could between beers".
My S2 cars all had the punch treatment, but the XJS's got the Loctite.
