Default Wtf?!?!?

Last night I was cruising the car and I felt a horrible vibration coming from the engine compartment and on top of that the power steering wasn't working and the alternator wasn't charging. Well I pulled over and popped the hood. I find that the crank bolt that holds the hub on has backed out of the crank. I don't understand this. I installed the hub correctly and I put loctite on it. Anyway does anyone have some insight on the situation and also thank god for the steel crank it's fine but the hub wasn't so lucky the crank ate a groove in the hub so it doesn't fit properly now. Anyway I need another hub. If you guys have one laying around let me know i'm looking for one. Just shoot me a p.m.

Thanks for the heads up. I checked out ThunderRacing and found the keyed hubs that they offer. I think I'm going to go that direction. Do you guys have any feedback on these hubs? Let me know. -Thanks

Wow, backordered since November and don't know when they'll have any. I am going to try getting ahold of ATI to see if they have anything available. I also checked GM and they gave me the same story.
