Hello,

   I recently picked up a set of splined hubs from a GT6000 for use on my ST-16 transaxle. Although the GT hubs fit great will there be a torque concern? The GT hubs are made of metal and seem inadequate somehow?

the splined hubs used on late suburbans are alluminem i would imagine they are about the same strength

 

by the way dd you changed the trans or did the trans blow in the late 70s? a 73 st16 should of had keyed hubs that are cast iron

It's a long story, but yes, I changed the transaxle. What year ST would have had cast splined hubs? Your the second guy that told me they are the same strength, that's a relief!
