I am looking for help.
I have a 1991 Explorer sport 4x4. When I had the front end rebuilt, the shop that did the work damaged my factory auto lock hubs, so I got a set of warn hubs installed. I normally do my own repairs, but I needed the entire front end done, and it was the dead of winter.
Problem I am having is the passenger side castle nut slowly backs off.
I am having a mental block as why this is happening, and the shop basically stiffed me, said not our problem.
I have to occasionally take it the cover off, tighten the nut, and bolt the tire back on.
I don't see anywhere on the hub where a cotter pin would go like on a normal 2wd to lock it from moving.
Last time I inspected the cover, I noticed the inside was chewed up a little.
I have a basic chiltons book which is about worthless when it comes to this.
Just trying understand what was not done correctly, maybe something not set up correctly.
