lock outs

[us111]

hi all,truck is 76 k-10 shortbed stepside,,put new lock outs in last summer,been locked in 4 wheel maybe twice..started hearing a clicking type noise from drivers side,i checked the lock outs,passenger side is all nice and tight,no movement in our out,or clockwise,but drivers side there is in/out movement,also u can grab it and rotate it clockwise and back maybe 1/8 of an inch..all bolts are tight,any ideas what i should be looking for?? thanks for any help... lock outs are superwinch.

So your saying the hub it self will rotate 1/8" left to right and visa versa?
If so then the outer spline on the hub need to be looked at.
Now the clicking noise could also be your wheelbearings and the slop you have in your hub may just be slop in the outer splines. My Warn hubs have zero slop in the outer splines..?? Never had your brand before so I don't know if they fit as tight as the Warns do?

ty for reply,,yes the lockout hub itself will move back and forth and in and out,,

Well the in and out is not too much of a concern cuz there is play that direction but the back and forth your talking about is puzzeling.
Remember the outer splines on the hub itself? They ingage to the splines on the inside of the wheel hub/housing. So the only way you could have slop there is inbetween the splines??
I don't know man?
By some Warns and replace them hahaha
Maybe pull um and put more greese in there..

Good Luck!
