• Supporting maintenance on older 4WD trucks and SUVs with serviceable front hubs

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify axle, hub, and locking-hub configuration before installation. Confirm the vehicle listing by year, make, model, and notes such as axle ratio or hub type, since fitment varies across applications. Inspect the spindle nut, washer, and surrounding hub components for wear before reassembly. The part number 618-040 should be matched to the vehicle’s original hardware specification during service.
