Popped it open thinking it was the bearing, just to realize that they DONT have a bearing. I'm on the hunt for WARN ones, do you know if they do use bearings? Must be user error or a defect. Many guys here use these hubs with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the hubs use ball bearings; not RR's, Warns, or even OEMs. They have sleeve bearings that do need light lubrication (hub grease) however.

The bronze bushing has wear, so the shaft ist not snug anymore. This creates vibration. Did apply some grease and the rubbing/vibration stoped. How ever, its just a patch until I change de Hub. Now just have to decide to replace that just one, or buy a pair in other brand. Warn seems to have a wider bushing? at least, seems so in the pics.

Warn seems to have a wider bushing? at least, seems so in the pics. The contact width on all of them isn't that wide, maybe < 0.5", but I'm not sure wider is necessarily better. Probably don't want things being too snug either. It's ok if there's a little tolerance (the exposed tip of the CV has a little play, too), so long as it's not wobbling around or creating high/low spots in the sleeve. Main thing is lubrication, but not too much (otherwise the clutch ring won't disengage easily). Not sure how easy it is to just find a single unit, but if you get a new pair, you'll have at least a spare. Though, seems like these may be ok still. Is there still a gasket in place to keep elements out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced inner and outer tie rods, swaybar bushings and links as well. Anything that had to do with the suspension I replaced. good to know, thank you!

Would it have issues with a sun roof? Also would it be safe to stand on? Looking for something similar for my pathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
