Lock out hubs keep locking them selves
I have a 78 f150 4x4 4 speed with warn lock out hubs. and have noticed the drivers side lock out keeps going from free to lock by its self every so often. the passangers side dose not do this. has any one had this issue before and know what causes it thanks.

I have not ever taken the drivers side appart. when I bought the truck in January. the po said the hubs were new. I took the passenger side hub appart to put new weel bearings in and it looked like the hub was fairly new. I'll take the other side apart this weekend. and repack it/see if anything is broken and see if that helps thanks for the advice.

I have found several times somebody just reaches down and locks the hub in while walking by. Never heard of one locking itself. but it may be possible if something was broken inside.

It's not uncommon for Warn hubs to move on their own. You need to grind the end of the axle stub.

If they are aftermarket lockouts, I would take them off and get a set of OEM Spicers and never look back!! The OEM Spicers are hands down the best!

I have never run into that before. I learned something today. My dad always told me to learn something new each day, but as old as i am it is getting harder to learn something new. ( that I can remember!!! LOL
