Hub experiences wanted
« on: August 14, 2007, 04:34:53 PM »
Ok, I'm getting ready to buy new lockouts for my Grand Vitara. Can those with experience with each of these hubs give me their opions.

I like these for their cost but the description says they have nylon internals which sounds odd...

AVM (Rugged Ridge)



Super Winch



Warn standard



Warn Premium

I have the AVM ones and they seem pretty good, no problems yet. If I had the money at the time though I would have went warn premium.  ???

Use stock sidekick locking hubs... Much cheeper and VERY RELIABLE. It is very rare I hear people breaking the stock AISIN hubs... Save yer money for other mods.

I have been looking for the last 3 weeks for a pair of OEM used. They either want as much as a new pair of aftermarkets or they need a rebuild. I did finally win a pair on ebay but once I got them I found that the bearings are shot and one is missing a spring and the other has two broken tabs.  >:(

Call me crazy, but the AVM and Superwinch sure look a lot like they share some parts.

What happened to the original ones on the rig?
Did you try Sean |removethispart|@ aftermarket 4x4?

warn primos are the best by far but $$$, next in line would for sure be aisens. Superwinch allen heads tend to strip out which can be a pain if something goes wrong on the trail.
