Locking Hubs: Description
Locking hubs provide means of engagement of front wheels on vehicles equipped with front driving axles. When hubs are engaged, full power is transmitted to both front wheels. When hubs are disengaged, front wheels are free to turn, but axle shafts and differential will remain idle. Engagement is accomplished through action of gears within hub. With hub in engaged position, inner clutch ring and axle shaft sleeve act as one piece to connect axle shaft to wheel hub.
