I have a disc brake hub with a stripped thread where the bottom ball joint screws on. Anyone successfully repaired one like this?

Toss it away, they are cast iron. NOT steel...

Not the balljoint pin Joe, the actual hub itself, where the big 1-1/2" inch nut screws down. Like Doc says, if that's stuffed the hub is stuffed...

Joe , two different things , you were talking about the end of the ball joint where the nut screws on weren't you ? Peter is talking about the thread on the hub where the ball joint cup screws onto . If the threads damaged on the hub the ball joint can seperate from the hub under load (read that as in a hard corner) and fold the wheel up under the guard so isn't worth fiddling with .

I figured it was toast. Just thought I would ask in case someone smarter than me had found a way to fix one.

Thanks for the confirmation.
