Warn Hubs

Swapped for Warn standard hubs a few months back when the ESOF's turned out to be trashed.

Since then, I've noticed a rattle coming from the hubs when driving over rough or broken pavement. I've checked the outer caps and they're good and snug, proper amount of grease inside, and the hub itself is completely secure.

Does anyone else with aftermarket hubs have the same issue? It's not critical, but on cooler evenings with the windows down it sound like a rattle trap unless the roads are in good shape. More of a pet peeve I suppose, but still curious.

Yeah, I have Mile Marker hubs and had the same issue. It was driving me (more) insane. What I found was that the c-clips that they send with the new hubs arent thick enough so the locker ring inside rattles.

What I did was ordered a Warn service kit which included extra c clips and added them to the existing ones. Rattle gone. So yes, I have 2 clips holding my hub guts in the hub.

Hope this helps.
