Not on the corner. You need to hit it directly and squarely on the flats on either side. Shock loading never fails.BTY you can see where I "tapped" on that front RH corner.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

The plug is to be removed for greasing normallyOK I give up. What is the "goessoutah" fitting you mentioned?
.New info.
Steering is very funky anytime the front axle is engaged.
Coming out of a corner keep a very firm grip on the wheel until it is straight and down the road a few seconds. Otherwise, it will unwind and try to either throw you into oncoming traffic or off the cliff, and almost break your fingers in the process. A few days ago it was driving great after adjusting the caster. Straight line with just a touch on the wheel, a little wandering at 50+. A joy to drive. Then yesterday I left the front drive engaged from coming up my driveway the day before and holy cow what a difference. Slept on it and made sure the front was disengaged today. Back to normal.
Is this indicating a problem with hubs, axles or differential? I did not try it with hubs unlocked.
I’ve got another 4wd and have driven many. Never had one so “violent” . If this is normal, so be it. I’ll only use the front drive when absolutely necessary..
I am guessing it must be more than just the normal "pushing you around" when the front wheels are engaged? Asking because it definitely handles completely different when there are good tires and dry pavement...
