A friend is having an issue with his Indy mids so just putting it out there to see if any other people have had similar problems before I help him tackle the return process.
The specific issue is the inverted nut arrangement in the baseplate is coming loose, not falling out loose, but has started to move side to side in more than one set of trucks he has set up, all of which are still fairly new and in fairly untouched condition.
When the inverted kingpin is fully down in the baseplate (which is usually where he has them done up to) the kingpin can be moved side to side which means the baseplate area round the nut shaft is widening out, in much the same way that when deck bolts are not done up tight enough, it ovals the mounting holes in a truck baseplate.
He bought more than one set when he got them, so when it started happening on the first set, he put on another pair, but it is also happening on the fresh set he just put on. Then he asked me about it, after which he messaged the shop he bought them from, didn't get a very helpful response and so is a bit stuck right now.
Before I start sending emails with pics and video to the shop in question, the distributor here in AU or even to NHS, has anyone else had this issue before or had similar things happen with Indy mids, or any other truck for that matter?
* Thought I should add a pic (from the brand new ones I had a while back) so you know exactly what is going on
