Key features
- 10-spline hub design
- Plastic center knob
- Chrome finish
- Manual locking operation
Checking hub style and splines
Manual locking hubs are simple, but their fit depends on the spline count and the axle shaft they join. Before buying, count the splines on your shaft and confirm the knob style you want. A chrome finish protects the exterior but does little for the internal parts, which are the ones that wear first in road use.
When replacing a set, look at the axle seal and the hub gasket as well. Old grease that has turned gritty or milky suggests water intrusion and calls for a closer inspection of the hub body. Replacing hubs in pairs keeps both front wheels engaging at the same rate.
- Count shaft splines before ordering
- Check the axle seal when the hub is removed
- Replace hubs in pairs for even engagement
