Warn hubs work very well. The only design flaw I can see is the nuts coming loose where the Aisin Hubs would use cone washers. That's why God invented BLUE LOCTITE! Guess what? Mine stay on there just fine. My hubs lock and unlock every time, and they stay locked when I need 'em to.

I hear claims all the time that Aisins are stronger than Warns. This may be true - but I have never seen any evidence or real support for this claim other than someone saying "I've seen Warn hubs get thrown away before."

Warn Hubs are easy to find, inexpensive (compared to reman Aisin) - and they have a LIFETIME warranty on them.
