The one I have is almost identical to this...


The trailer is this one.

<guess> You must be under tightening the axle nut. ... I have hitches by Burly and Thule-Chariot.. the chariot is on my AW3 .

replace the hitch with something else? .. Or, a long wide nut you can bolt Into once you secure te hub , even a setscrew,
pushing against the axle end will make the nut resist unscrewing.

have a stop added (Welded) to the back side so it catches in the dropout and wont rotate .
