Yeah, there’s a lot there I’d be worried about including but not limited to; the Chinese origin, “NOT be responsible for any delay”, the $130 price that does not include taxes, VAT, or other hidden charges and most of all the "...images are for reference only" statement. However the image they show sure nough looks familiar… Their image;  My HB Hubs;  You need more than one auto hub? You still have the broken OEM one? |

I have the auto hubs on the truck now and I do have one full spare but I was just concerned with getting the mechanical locker and going to Ecxc am I going to blow thru hubs or do I need to get a set of manual lock hubs. I'm tempted to leave it as is and run with my spares if I blow thru them I can deal with it after Ecxc and call it a successful trip  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've run my ARB equipped front on OEM auto hubs when I had to rebuild my manuals and although I've blown through a couple of axles I've never blown a hub. Sent from 718 using Tapatalk... |

Tom, what did Dave do for you last year the day you guys helped me with the body lift? He discovered a weak point on your hub maybe? Or was it the locker? You had brought it into his garage for him to look at. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk |

Those where OEM HB manuals that would not unlock. He got them unlocked and figured out the non Nissan replacement cv shafts I use are slightly larger than OEM and push a gear out of place. Plus side is that I now have like three sets of these manuals. It's like an annuity fund that keeps gaining value Sent from 718 using Tapatalk... |

Hi - Late to the party, but I run the AVM 461's and I thought you might want some feedback. I don't think I would buy them again. I bought them through ARB, but the support is poor. They have a parts kit listed on their Brazilian factory site, but I can't find an American seller. One hub bolt snapped off at low torque and I had to drill it out. Another reamed the hole and I'll have to do a Heliocoil fix to rebuild the treads. Without replacement hardware, I've had to match whatever the hardware store has to replace the long thin outer bolts. I don't mind that it looks funny, but it will not keep the mud out the way the original bolts do. It doesn't sounds like anyone has found a really good option. |

What was the low torque it snapped? IMHO the old HB hubs are the best option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
