If you have a F150 that the front end starts howling out of the blue, this is probably the problem. A vacuum leak in the actuators doesn’t allow the 4x4 to fully disengage. Ford quoted me $1200 to replace. If you have basic skills and access to utube, you can do this. Stopped all that noise. Dorman makes quality parts. I was warned not to go cheap. Glad I used Dorman

Pour un Ford 2010 XLT 4 par 4 la première photo est celui que je viens de recevoir et l'autre photo celui que j'ai reçu en 2021 que j'avais changé chose que je ne comprends pas que c'est fabriqué aux États-Unis et que l'autre et marqué made in China. Trouver l'erreur je suis pas sûr que c'est un dorman.... pour cette raison que je donne 3 étoiles je suis très déçu car je crois à dorman mais là je ne suis pas trop sûr. Quelque chose me dit que ce n'est pas un dorman. Et on paye le prix pas très fort.

This product was super cheap and not too bad of an install. I have had a low moan or groan when I come to a stop. Really noticeable under 20 MPH. My father and I replaced one and could still hear the noise so we were disheartened. Luckily, we replaced both and the low groaning noise went 100% away. Saved myself probably $1,100 or so I would imagine to have a mechanic do it. Really happy I bought this product. What I found was the problem was in the old actuators. The would hold vacuum is they were held in a static position. If you moved them or lightly shook them they'd lose vacuum and this is where the groaning noise was coming from. The actuator would lose vacuum, not fully retract and then lightly grind on the hub gears. So glad I fixed this. Couldn't be happier

I don't usually write reviews, but this fixed my problem after installed. I bought one for my right side hub about a year ago. I should have changed the left side at the same time. This purchase was for the left side and fix the grinding and loud noise from that side. These Dorman 4x4 Hubs work great. Fast delivery, and I had them installed the next morning. Working Great!

Winter is never a good time to discover your 4wd isn't working, but of course that's how these things always go. Thankfully this was an easy job, providing you have a good tool set The only "specialty" tool you'll need other than a good socket set and wrenches is a torque wrench. There are a couple of nuts that need to be tightened to spec, and you don't want to chance a bolt too loose. There are some great videos on YouTube that will walk you through the process. I highly recommend the video by Ford Tech Makuloco, he does a great job of explaining every step of the job.To test your hubs, do the following: jack up the front end of the truck. With the ignition off, spin each front wheel by hand. The default position is for the hubs to be locked in, so you should see the wheel turning the half shaft if your hub is properly locking. Next step, start the truck and leave it in 2wd. You should be able to spin each wheel freely and the half shaft should not spin on either side. (In my case, the passenger side would not lock in, and the driver side wouldn't unlock. Go figure.)If both wheels lock and unlock properly, then your problem is possibly in the transfer case or elsewhere.A told, I was probably only a couple hours into this job, and my 4wd works like a champ once more. The process is pretty simple, I was able to do the second hub just from memory after following the video and doing the first one.

I ordered this Dorman 600-105 Locking Hub Actuator for my 2014 F150. It was a perfect fit; but I damaged it upon installation. I did not fully engage the gear to the splines on the CV axle and the nylon ring broke; resulting in the same noise upon driving. My fault. So, I ordered a "Genuine Ford" P/N 7L1Z-3C247, as a few YouTube reviews and others here say"Its Genuine Ford- none better", or somesuch. Well, I've got news for you- after receiving my "Genuine Ford" part, it had the EXACT same marking on it- they both say "Warn Industries" on them, and they both have the EXACT same pink spot of paint on them. The "Ford" part had the Ford part number on it- but on the Dorman part, this number had been machined off. Identical parts- BOTH made by Warn...........Well, the Ford part was only a couple bucks more than the Dorman, but the Ford part took several days to arrive, so I think getting the Dorman part is a no brainer.If BOTH are manufactured by Warn Industries, why doesn't Warn sell them also?Well, problem solved, and the truck is nice and quiet now. While installing the actuator, a couple videos mention applying vacuum to it while placing it into the hub- this retracts the gear collar and makes it MUCH easier to get in place without damaging the part. Be VERY careful pushing the CV axle back into place- that is how I broke a couple while installing... but again, my fault.Yes, this part is a "Genuine FORD"- vendor part. SAME ITEM.Now you know where Ford gets them......

I purchased 2 of these for my f150. My problem was with both fronts jacked up the right side CV Axle would spin free at all times regardless of 2wd or 4wd, And the driver side would spin the axle staying locked in at all times. The grease from the passenger side had pretty much exploded into the vent lines so be sure to check and see if yours are clean or not. Both of mine were shot, Replaced these using the 1A Auto Video instructions, My 4wd has been flawless so far! i read and researched hoping this was my problem and it was! At Advanced Auto Parts they are like 120 bucks a peice, So why not just get 2 and do them both while your at it! Seemed like good quality and come pre packed with grease. Cant beat that. Have a crow bar to pry the lower control arm out the way and a good socket set ready! And a 12mm 12point socket for the CV Removal. Also will need to borrow a torque wrench to get the control arm bolt back to spec. I set mine at 85foot lb, Dont be scared to beat that big bolt out of there once you get the nut off and the threads backed out! You will need a deep socket size 30 to get that nut off so pick one up while your grabbing that 12mm 12point. Would recommend these to anyone with 4x4 problems! If your 4x4 lights still and can still get 4 low to work but it just wont lock in, this is the fix!

I bought a pair of these to finally get the 4wd system fixed on my 2008 Ford F150 XLT. This product is looks pretty much identical to the Motorcraft actuator that I installed a year ago, I bet they are made in the safe factory. I'm happy that I went with this Dorman one and more-less got to of them for the price of one OEM. One thing to consider here, if your actuator had been going for some time and/or you had some vacuum issues, your wheel bearing might need replacing too. The splines on both the actuator and wheel bearing get chewed up by when the actuator only partially engages.
