I noticed today that while I am driving (with hubs still locked and in 2x4) that the steering wheel will jerks a little bit just like I was in 4x4. Any thoughts?

mine will " stick" sometimes...when you spin the dial on the hub spring pressure pushes the cog out to lock the hub. Over time they will get gummed up so when you lock in the hub listen for the "clunk" of the cog engaging if you dont hear it tap on the hub with a hammer or some other blunt object gently until you hear it lock in....or just buy a set of warn's and be done with it.

just my opinion of course

Ok so I am looking at new warn hubs and I am wondering exactly how they go on because the new ones look like they have little bolts that go all the way around the outside and I know the factory ones just have snap rings. Can anyone clear this up for me?

well i just installed my new set of warn hubs and i am very happy with them. It took care of my problem 100%. My only question now is has anyone done anything to make the gap between the new hub and cover look cleaner?

Not really, but honestly you get used to the look. It does make it hard to keep the hubs clean.
