Talk about a beating. The knuckle bearing trunnions are known to break off sometimes! Mine was no so unfortunate, but I had some entertaining wear on the lower knuckle bearings. However, with new bearings it's a breeze to steer on pavement even with big-ish tires. One of my spindles is torn up from losing the wheel hub at some point, not to mention bubba repairs on one side for permanent hub engagement. Though somebody was good about greasing it... drum brakes were packed full of overflow grease and everything had a 1" shell of dirt/grease around it!
