Locking Hubs?? Whats the best???
#1
Anyone have a opinion on Locking Hubs? The left front on ol Blue has developed a problem and does not want to turn all the way to the locked position. Warn? MileMarker? Thughts are welcome.

OEM Ford. They're not fancy but are very strong. Better than Warn, IMHO.

Ford OEM. I carry a spare but have yet to use it after all the ridiculously stupid stuff I have done.

Nothing new to add. The rock crawlers have chimed in already.

I run superwinch hubs with a ford OE spare. I would also trust mile marker, both of those use metal centers which I like. I do not use warn, especialy the premium hubs. The screws pull out and
I have blown several sets. IF in doubt use the OE.

if you have stock hubs, pull them apart and clean them, use lithium grease(lightly) and reassemble everything-should work just fine. if you go new-i would go warn standard-quarter turn versus full turn premiums. those both use the same locking mech, just differents knobs
