This right here is the worst part of the whole thing! Between this and the overall really low numbers it's just a guess how effective any fix is.

Is the problem purely that the hub bolt is backing off? If so, then a CBC is all the fix you need.

Is the problem that the hub can slip even with the bolt at the correct torque? If so, the CBC won't help at all and only one of the full pinned or spline-lock fixes would help.

Is it both? Then you can eliminate one cause for a reasonable cost or both for a pretty good chunk of change. And then what percentage of each of these already rare problems is due to each cause?

Is it really only a bigger problem with modified cars or is it based on how the car is driven and that just happens to overlap with the car being modified? Or maybe it appears to mostly be modified cars because we're surveying people on a forum where a huge percentage is modified.
