Warn Hubs
Hey Guys
I Am Going To Replace My Stock Auto Locking Hubs ( P O S ) With Some New Warn Premium Manual Locking Hubs.
Was Wondering If The Lug Nut Covers Will Still Fit After The New Hubs Are Installed. You Know, The Lug Nut Cover Has That Big Hole In It Where The Hub Sticks Through.

Thanks For The Info. Thats The Reason I Want The Manual Hubs Also.
Those Vacuum Hubs Are O K When They Are Brand New But After A While They Are Too Much Trouble And Unreliable.
Going To Pick Mine Up Tomorrow.

not to take over the thread but I just installed a set of the premiums. Warn states that "floating" is alright. How much floating is good, I would say there is about a 1/4" of "floating on mine. 4wd seems to work but I am just wondering if I did something wrong. I don't think I did but I am not any ase mechanic by any means. Thanks

Blackx psd,
What do you mean by 'floating'? Are the hubs moving in and out of the rotor hole?
I've got an issue with my Warn's rattling going over bumps, and Warn customer support is sending me out a second set of the circular lock rings to install on my truck. (Big thanks to krewat for that one!)
They say that on SD's the groove where the stock 'wire' lock ring sits is too wide for only one of their circular lock rings to seat and properly hold the hub in, and putting two rings will do the trick.
On another note, Howdy 4x4 in Refugio! Good to see another South Texas user on here!
