I would like the company name and part number of the manual hubs i will need for a conversion. My hubs are automatic and on a 1987 . Has any one out there done this on a 1987 specifically?


WARNs appication chart says "Will not fit '87-early '88 model vehicles, flange mount. (Dealer item only. See Ford parts & Service)."

Any advice would be great.

If that's the kind of hub I am thinking you may be better off to redo the hole front end from (Maybe) spindle out. I am not absolutely sure. I am sure someone with more knowledgw will chime in.

Thanks for your responce. Hopefully some one will respond that has done one.

IM pretty sure thats refering to trucks with factory manual hubs that are held on by the rim and not screws.

My wheel has 5 small screws on the out side.

I think what Tunedup is getting at is if you take the wheel (rim &tire) off the bronco will the hub kind of fall off? You can just grab it and pull it off?

If so I think you will have to do what I was talking about. I think Crazed just sold a bronco with that same setup on it. Holla at him and see what he says.

'87 was a kooky year....if I am not mistaken Warn actually made the hubs that year but they were a weird design. It shouldn't be too hard to get the parts off an earlier Bronco at a junkyard and swap everything over. Then basically any after market hubs for a D44 should work...if I am wrong somebody please correct me...

The footnotes for the 87-88 models are for the models with existing manual hubs. Those are a special design and no aftermarket hub is available for them. The 87-88 models with automatic hubs can use any aftermarket manual hubs available for 1/2 ton Fords, no special parts needed.

That is good news. What is the best ones to use?
