This document is an exploded parts diagram of the Ford automatic hub lock assembly used on vehicles built 5/95 and up. The illustration shows the front axle halfshaft, spindle, disc brake hub and rotor, wheel bearings, seals, thrust washers, and the automatic locking hub assembly in exploded view, with numbered callouts (1-21) keyed to a legend. The legend identifies each component with its Ford base part number, including the halfshaft (3A329), rolling diaphragm seal (3C132), integral spacer needle bearing seal (3299), caged needle bearing (3123), front wheel spindle (3105), outer spindle rolling diaphragm seal (3254), wheel hub grease seal (1190), wheel bearing cups (4222) with bearings (4221), front disc brake hub and rotor (1102), wheel retainer key (3B549), lock ring/cap screw/cap (1K104), hub body (1K105), C-ring (3B457), and various thrust washers (part of 3B458). Two torque specifications are provided: callout A specifies tightening to 4-6 N·m (35-53 lb-in), and callout B describes the wheel bearing seating procedure — tighten until snug while rotating the hub and rotor, back the nut off 90 degrees (1/4 turn), then tighten to 1.8 N·m (16 lb-in). Useful for anyone servicing or rebuilding the front hubs and bearings on these vehicles.
