Anybody else have any issues with these warn hubs?
This is the only pic I have of my hub ATM
I have one that has started to click in 4low and it's getting progressively worse just as my auto hub did right before it blew. I took the warn hub apart and all the metal gears are perfect. The washer that the larger straight spring sits on seems very thin. Could that cause it?
I also noticed that the plastic plate the gear selector rolls on has a rounded tooth.
This plate
I'm not sure if the hub relies on the thin plastic plate for continuous engagement in 4x4 once it's already engaged. and could thus cause the bad clicking. I don't see how it could.
I called warn and they don't sell replacement parts for these hubs, only sold in sets of new hubs
. I really don't want to drop the coin for new hubs.
My rig does have extended shafts and beams but the shafts sit right where they did in my spindle snout with perfect shaft c-clip engagement before I extended everything and went to long travel.
Thoughts?
