Wheel Hub

Locking hubs, also known as free wheeling hubs, play an important role in four wheel drive systems. Usually located on the front wheels of part-time 4WD vehicles, locking hubs are used to engage the front wheels and transform them into drive wheels as needed. Without locking hubs, a vehicle will not be able to enter into four wheel drive mode. In addition, locking hubs are responsible for disengaging a vehicle from four wheel drive.

There is no way to disassemble and repair a sealed hub assembly. If something has gone wrong with the unit – like a failed internal ABS sensor or corroded ABS tone ring on the hub – the entire thing must be replaced. Mechanics will need to remove the wheel, hub nut and brakes to replace the unit. On the other hand, if you’re working on an older vehicle, adjustable wheel bearings can be adjusted, cleaned and repacked with grease, and replaced if the bearings are bad.
