Warn Premiums, broken?

It have Warn premiums, and i was wondering what they are supposed to feel/sound like when you engage them. When i turn mine to the "free" position they kind of click into place and when it turn them to lock they dont make any kind of click and they seem like they should cause the part that turns sticks out a slight bit more. I was just wondering if they were broken? or if i didnt put them in correctly. Thanks

Well, my premiums are odd. One makes the click when fully engaged, whereas the other engages, but doesnt seem to click. I didnt install mine, but I ran them last season, and didnt have any issues.

... i forgot to mention that the snap ring on the right side broke letting the stub shaft slide out, causing a little damage there!

A 3/4 turn holds better than a 1/4 turn. Just a note.

I have had a couple of problems with mine, but when they did break I just took them down to 4 wheel parts (where I bought them) and they gave mee new ones... no questions asked.
