Hey guys are all wheel bearings the same or do I need to get some for my type front end? :shrug :shrug Not sure what type front end I have eather. :banghead

go to the part store and tell em what kind of truck you have they will hook you up. and warn premiums are the best.

I just replaced mine. Went with hte Warns because of the the warrenty. Lifetime. Break em, bring em in, swap for new ones. Simple as that.

Warns are not as good as you are all claiming.
the premiums in most applications use the exact same guts as the regular Warns.
many axles come from the factory with Warn hubs.
If a Milemarker is available for your application and is made of real steel I would go that route over Warns any day.

I have broken Warn's (design flaw) and I recieved a new set on warrantee for a dana60.

Well I would say that you have a dana 44 ttb in front unless its been swapped out. I would say go with the warn premium hubs and just remember to have them serviced when you go through any deep water. Also make sure and keep a copy of the receipt. WARN P/N 20990 should be the ones you need. The mile marker units are also very good but sometimes not as easily or readliy available in certain areas.

Anybody heard of Wolverine hubs?

I say Warns, that's what I have on my rig right now and have not had any problems with them, other then me f**king up and not cleaning and greasing them after driving through 2 foot deep water all day. They're great hubs. I really don't know much about the other kinds.

:thumbup Thanks guys guess warn it is.. I found a pair of Prem. Warn for $85 @ BGY Pretty good deal huh?

EXACTLY. The only significant difference being the metal cap with 7/8 turn engagement vs plastic cap and 1/4t engagement. Ford used Warn hubs from the factory starting around 91-92. Before that, the manuals were Spicers, which I consider to be a superior design all-around. I have also broken the Warns, but it was due to a broken disengagement spring that caused the hub gear to get stuck halfway betwen engaged and disengaged. Add a little throttle, and boom.

As for "servicing" the lockouts -- they don't really need any. So long as they're clean, they're good. The only greasing they need is a light (LIGHT!) coat of grease to prevent rust formation. A better option is to dunk them in light oil and let them drip dry.

Timken wheel bearings. You can get them at Autozone.

What are the price differences between the Warns and Milemakers

ok, i have not been here in a long time but my bronco is shitty in 4wd. Is it most likely the hubs? i have an 87 EB, can i put in these manual hubs instead?
