I have a1996 XLT with automatic hubs and I'm looking to buy the lock ring that holds the hub body in place.
I have looked every where I can think of. Dealers, and almost every parts store on the internet. Nothing for a bronco.
Any ideas?

Sorry …. I'm not a fan of the auto locking hubs.

good luck with your search … but if it where me I would swap out for the mile marker manual locking hubs.

If this is what you're talking about you can get it here, but I agree on converting them to the old style, that's what I ended up doing. Now I have a 95-96 hub nut socket I don't need anymore. (switching to MM hubs requires converting to the old style that uses the 4 tooth hub nut socket- same as in the video posted above.)

I have the same vehicle that had auto hubs----Throw them away, and get the Warn, locking hubs, and don't look back. You can travel with the hubs locked, for reasonable distance, in case of weather trouble. The auto hubs that came with my 96 would slip all the time. Go Warn!!

That's the one. Thank you
I just may switch to manual hubs.

I switched out the original and put Warner in. It was easier then the originals putting back in. I have NOT had the chance to try them out yet. HOPEFULLY soon though.
