    Very nice hubs seem to be very nice quality. I used them on my 1993 Ford Explorer. The one and only problem with them was that the spindle nuts that came with them where the wrong thread so I had to go buy other ones that would work for me.

    they are the wrong threads or maybe defective… now I have to spend another 40 to 60 bucks for new lock nuts…. kinda disappointing. After waiting 5 days I get to wait some more.

    Product arrived with spindle nuts that had the wrong thread pitch – did not fit. Contacted the seller who offered to pay for replacements that I could purchase locally. Credit for the purchase of the spindle nuts was issued to my account immediately after sending the seller a copy of the invoice. Locking hubs working very well.

    I read the reviews about some people having problems with the spindle nuts. A few of the reviews said the spindle nuts worked which made me think the issue had been resolved. I got the nuts to start but only go on a turn or so and get so tight that the threads definitely are not right. With new spindle nuts being $30 plus each these budget hubs just got expensive and now I have to wait because none of the local parts stores have them in stock. I will give a better rating if they make good on the reimbursement of the price for having to buy new nuts.

    My vehicle had auto-lock hubs and the existing bearing lock nut is not compatible with the new manual locking hubs. This kit came with the proper bearing nuts and lock washers, but the nuts will only thread up 2-3 turns before becoming so tight they will not go any further. I contacted the seller about the problem and have never received a response. These nuts are $25 each at several online retailers and the job requires four total. Very dissatisfied with this seller.
