I run these hubs on the rear of my ss, and keep breaking the 5 bolts that hold the rotor on. It looks like they loosen just a bit then snap. I loctited the last time and it still did it. Does anybody have this problem?

I have them on my buggy broke one a couple years ago but have not since. Also put them on a friends buggy and he broke both of them. Talked to Tatum about the problem and they told me that they were not having any problems. I sent them pictures of the ones we broke and they sent me one new hub and spacers and bolts. Tatum says they must not have been locktited and they came loose and snapped. Have not had any problems this year but we check them every ride to makes sure they are tight.
