Hublock Replacement
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Ford Pickup, 2010 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2010 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2010 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Make sure to follow the Removal and Installation procedure exactly as instructed or damage to the hub may occur.
LH- and RH-side hublocks are not connected, other than by the common vacuum supply line. If a malfunction in either hublock is diagnosed, it should be installed as an individual unit; there is no need to "balance" an axle with new hublocks on both sides. It is highly unlikely that both hublocks are malfunctioning at the same time on a vehicle. If both sides appear to be malfunctioning, be sure to verify upstream integrity before installing new hublocks on both sides.
Many system components are involved in the correct operation of the ESOF hubs. Before diagnosing the hublocks themselves as the cause of 4WD concerns, be sure to verify all related system components.
