180sx Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Whats the difference between the 2 hubs? Besides price...Is the Warn that much better? I've only seen one person with the Mile Marker hubs before...that might say something about them, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxman0324 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I had no problems with them on my 97 for the year they were on, but I never did any challenging off roading so I cannot comment on durability... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY1PATH Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 vengeful, can't see what you are posting. x2 p.s. I have OEM Nissan Hardobdy hubs. I have heard they are the strongest but really I got em for 25 bucks @ a JY in nearly mint condition. something neat about warn; they make an interchangable spine ring that is designed to break before your cv's do. the "breakable" ring can be installed in 5 min and is replacable on the trail. I don't see myself putting that much load on a CV(still open diff up front) but its a good thing to have for locked diffs and abusive terrain.

nmpath Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I have had Warns on my both my pathys and my scout, and they have never given me any trouble. The local Desert Rat and 4WheelParts stock them so I usually just buy them in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 The spline ring's the reason I went with Warn. I'd rather replace a small ring than an entire CV axle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

180sx Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Well, that picture explains it all...haha. x2 p.s. I have OEM Nissan Hardobdy hubs.

I don't see myself putting that much load on a CV(still open diff up front) but its a good thing to have for locked diffs and abusive terrain. Hmm...OEM units...Would an '89 fit mine? Do the '90+ have OEM hubs? Would be a little cheaper to go to the JY and pull some hubs off of them...Or I should just not be cheap and buy the damn Warns...

180sx Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Acording to AC, the warns fit 90-2004 HB and pathy's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hubs from an 89 will NOT work on an R50. MY1PATH has an 89 Pathfinder, that's why he could use them. I'm not really sure why he posted that info here, as it's not relevant.... The spline count for 86-89 was 27. The R50 spline count is 28. However, all 1990-2004 V6 4WD Nissan Trucks used the same 28 spline hubs, so they would be interchangeable. If you were to find the OEM units from a 90+, you could use them.

I'd rather replace a small ring than an entire CV axle... keep in mind if you buy the warn; the ring that comes with a new unit is stonger than the optional "breakable" ring that has to be bought separately.

All, 1990 on V6 Hardbodies had the 28 spline shafts. Actually, all V6 4WD Nissans had the same shafts and hubs, Pathfinder, Hardbody, Frontier, and Xterra, up to 2004.

That's good information for the next junkyard trip - as soon as the rest of the snow melts here. SteveM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X2, especially if the OEM unit is the best one to use. a simple refresher kit (i.e. rebuild) and it will be all set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's what I have. Made sure of that when I installed the new CV axles 'cause those babies need to be kept safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90seven Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 For those of you with Warns installed, are you using the Warn bolts that came with the kits, or have you used high grade bolts? statikiz *Note: It is recommended by most to use high grade bolts in place of the studs and lock nuts provided by Warn, due to the number of people who have reported that the original Warn studs brake over time. I'll be getting these installed in the next week and was wondering if I should look for replacement bolts. I'm going to have 4WheelParts install them. I don't have the time, nor the tools.

alexrex20 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 the dust cap isn't being reused, so mangle it all you want as you remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
