Detailed Product Overview

Standard Ignition FWDH1 is a four wheel drive locking hub assembly for select Ford and Lincoln trucks and SUVs. It is intended for vehicles equipped with automatic locking hubs, and the OE-style construction helps maintain correct hub operation during front axle engagement and disengagement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Use this locking hub when servicing a worn, sticking, or non-functioning front hub on a Ford Excursion, Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, Ford Expedition, or Lincoln Navigator with the listed 4WD setup. The FWDH1 part number is also useful when matching an OE replacement by reference.
