locking hubs

4x4M38 · Post by **4x4M38** » Tue Feb 03, 2015 2:24 pm

I have a pair installed when I bought the jeep. No name or any other identifier, except for lock and free around the circumference and a little less than 90 degrees apart.

One has a red plastic disc and the other white.

Any idea who made them?

Thanks

Ebay. My encyclopedia for parts lookup.

They look like this, except the lock and free are in reversed locations.

If you would have looked half way down that link's page you would of seen the set with the Lock - Free opposite matching yours.

I saw them Wes.

I still don't know who made them.

Look like cheap offshore knockoffs/copies of Warn.

It does not surprise me. Appear to be chrome with several layers
of paint on top. One photo shows plastic inside. They turn fairly
freely. For now, I guess just put them in line for a take apart.

Thanks Wes.

the point is if they fit for our m38?

Hello Balos,
I have a pair on my M38 at present. They were installed when
I bought it. I cannot say if they are the same ones as on
EBay but they look the same. If for a Dana 44 they should fit, right Wes?

Dana 44 came in 10 spline M38 and early Jeep through about 72 and came in 19 spline later jeep.
