The WEILEITE unit is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM tolerances, includes necessary seals and gaskets, and ships as a two-piece kit so both front hubs can be serviced together. Verify the part number HL1Z-3C247-A or GL1Z-3C247-A against your vehicle prior to purchase to ensure compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will this actuator affect my vehicle’s 4WD performance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling a functioning hub locking actuator restores the mechanical link between the axle and wheel hub when 4WD is selected, ensuring the front wheels receive torque as intended.
