Warn External Mount Locking Hubs

WARN External Mount Locking Hubs give 4WD trucks and SUVs a dependable manual hub upgrade for customers who want confident front axle engagement without relying on worn factory components. Built for drivers who still value a hands-on four-wheel-drive system, these hubs let the front drivetrain be engaged when traction is needed and disengaged when the vehicle is back on dry pavement or everyday routes. The result is a practical upgrade for work trucks, trail rigs, tow vehicles, and classic 4x4 builds that need durable hub operation.

The external-mount design supports applications that use a hub mounted at the outside of the wheel end, giving customers a familiar manual locking setup with a direct, easy-to-understand function. When the dial is turned to the locked position, the hub connects the front wheels to the drivetrain so the vehicle can use four-wheel-drive traction. When unlocked, the front axle can freewheel, helping reduce unnecessary front drivetrain movement during normal two-wheel-drive use.

WARN hubs are known for rugged wheel-end hardware, and this external-mount hub follows that purpose-built approach. The locking hub uses all-metal construction with a ZA alloy dial, heavy detents, and dual seals that help keep contaminants out during demanding use. Those details matter for customers who move between pavement, gravel, job sites, mud, snow, and rough backroad conditions where hub engagement needs to feel secure and predictable.

The manual dial gives customers a clear mechanical connection point instead of a hidden engagement system. WARN's premium manual hub design uses a 9/10-turn dial to create positive engagement between the inner drive gear and clutch ring, while wave spring technology helps the hub stay engaged once locked. That gives the driver a reassuring, deliberate hub feel when conditions call for four-wheel drive.

This hub is designed for external-mount, 10-spline, 6-bolt applications and is sold as a set of two. Fitment should be matched to the selected vehicle application before installation because wheel-end hardware, axle style, spline count, and mount style must align correctly. For customers replacing aging hubs, refreshing a 4WD front axle setup, or building a more dependable trail-ready drivetrain, the key benefit is simple: positive manual engagement in a durable hub package.

Whether customers are upgrading for work-site traction, trail driving, winter travel, or dependable manual 4WD control, WARN External Mount Locking Hubs deliver strong wheel-end engagement with proven WARN durability. Now Available at LEER!
