In the spirit of the discusion, I assume the aftermarket hubs will not stay locked once they are unlocked?? If so, is it the spring size or just crap versus quality?

I have never had a manual hub stay locked after I purposely unlocked it.

Like 05mil said, it is more of a design issue then a quality issue with the OEM hubs. Because they operate on vacuum and rarely get used they just get sticky. I bet if you used them monthly they would have few problems until the hoses rotted.

I have one.

When I had Lavender Brothers weld that track bar bracket on for me, they discovered the Warn hub on the passenger side was stuck locked.
