Key Features

Detailed Description

Built for driveline service on select 1991-2005 Mitsubishi Montero, 1997-2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport, and 1982 Dodge D50 models, this SKP locking hub is a practical replacement for vehicles that rely on manual hub operation. The SK404014 is used to connect or disconnect the front wheels from the axle shaft assembly, giving the driver control over when four-wheel drive is engaged. For Mitsubishi Montero and Montero Sport owners, as well as Dodge D50 drivers, this part supports dependable front axle operation in off-road, snow, mud, and other low-traction conditions.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
