auto freewheeling hubs versus manual lockers

[IanL]

Dealers - they have the Parts Manuals, don't they?

Maybe they should read them.  There are no axle differences between vehicles with auto hubs and those with manual hubs.

The dealer told me that there was a "C" clamp that was present on the auto hub that is not on the manual,still not sure what he meant??

Well, if he meant the circlip, item 20, you can see it's present for both types of hub.

So the 89 Tracker manual hubs should bolt right up on my 90 Tracker auto hubs???

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Thanks,I just wanted to be sure before buying. Once you buy it,it's yours even if they don't fit.That's not a pleasant thought.

This Friday my Tracker gets a new set of Warn Premium Hubs, I didn't have any problems with the autos, but I  prefer manuals. I found some Tracker hubs at the wreckers,but I don't know how many miles are on them so I went with new.
I think I will look at a Warn winch in the near future.........

I got the new Warn manual hubs on today, much more solid feeling and lock up solidly when I need them to. That was my second set of auto hubs,hopefully the last. Now I know why I like manual hubs.....
