Will they work?

[Oldfart]

i recently came across 2 sets of Mile marker manual locking hubs at a local parts store. They say they are for 90’s IFS Pathfinder. Will they work on a 02 Xterra? I can get a good deal, but don’t want to pull trigger on parts I can’t use.

Yep. Those will work for a 1st gen.

Thank you. Guess it begs this question. Are they any good?

The factory auto hubs are by no means awful. Manual hubs do offer a slightly better positive lock. Of the two remaining manual hub options, the mile markers are not quite as good as the Warns. But they're not bad either

I run Warens, only because I had them on my pathfinder. They offer about 1-2 mpg. They are a PITA in winter when you just want 4by now and for the next few hundred metres. When I get back home I’m going to reinstall the factory ones and either sell the warns or keep them as spares.

Keep them as spares, nissan had discontinued some of the parts for the autolocking hubs. If yours breaks your going to be hard pressed to find new ones. The plastic rings on both of my hubs broke at the same time and it took the business that reinstalled they about 3 weeks to find replacement parts for them.

Thanks for the input, appreciated
