When the wheels fall off.The last thing yon need while on a mission in Iraq is to have the wheels fall off your Stryker. But that's exactly what has happened in several instances. The problem comes from cracks in the Stryker's hub/spindle assemblies. Most at risk are Strykers with high mileage--5,000 miles or more--that are driven at high speeds and carrying an exceptitonal amount of weight. The left rear hub/spindle assembly, NSN NSN National Stock Number NSN Nokia Siemens Networks NSN National Storytelling Network NSN NATO Stock Number NSN New Substances Notification (CEPA) NSN National Student Number (NZ) NSN Never Say Never 2530-01-513-6175; left steered, NSN 2510-20-002-3589; right rear, NSN 2530-20-000-8080: and right steered, NSN 2510-20-002-3588, can actually shear off, causing the wheel assembly to roll away from the vehicle. That's especially bad news if the loose wheel hits dismounted soldiers or passing vehicles. 1. Keep the weight below the vehicle maximum of 41,000 pounds for Strykers with more than 5,000 miles. 2. Cut the maximum speed back to 35 mph for vehicles with more than 5,000 miles that travel on public roads that are considered highly congested con·gest·ed adj.
