I think it could possibly be my spoon diffuser causing that issue. I may need to start hunting for a new type or design one

For me, the wobble was the only sign that the hubs had galled or broken. Basically the hubs weren't strong enough for anything but straight line work. The lateral motion caused the bearings to gall the hubs. Then wobble. Then sometimes cracking the collar of the hubs off.

I've had the same issues with my Asura 3" exhaust rubbing on the right side cv axle. ended up putting a dent in the exhaust and helped it. Now I'm going to be running a PTuning 3" dual, so hopefully I don't have the same problems. As for the R200 hub issues, I'm concerned with mine. I noticed I have a noise when making a slight right turn at higher speeds, like a constant clunking noise. CKit, are those signs of problems happening? Did you experience the same thing? What did you do to resolve this issue? Thank you.

Well the wheel wobble is certainly worse so I need to find new wheel bearings. I hate the fact that our on post shop has to be the ones to put it on because I'm sure they are the ones who damaged the factory set

No, you probably need to find new hubs.

That's what happened to our bearings over and over again. They kept trying to blame the installation, but it was done at the Honda dealer I'm sponsored through. Finally, they admitted that the "1000hp" hubs were only good in a straight line. Anything curvy and they wouldn't hold up. The bearings would gall the hubs and develop play. If the bearings "fall out" it's the hub, not the bearing. But you'll need to replace the bearings, too.

I hope thats not the case. spent too much money on that kit for it not to function properly. i just wonder though how can they not work around corners when the hub is billet steel. it honestly just feels like a stronger thicker version of the factory hubs.

I've been to a handful of autox events of the past year and my hubs seem to be holding up fine (knock on wood).

Guess only time will tell for sure.

Well I partly blame the ass bag who said that they have to press the hubs. I'm pretty sure he screwed that up

Ok just replaced the bearing ants the crunching noise is gone. It is all kinds of chewed up. You can tell it was pressed wrong
