40260-1S700 Front Wheel Clutch Free Wheel Hub for Nissan Frontier Navara D22 X-Terra 4WD 28 Spline
Engineered for demanding off-road and daily driving conditions, the 40260-1S700 front wheel clutch is a precision-machined free wheel locking hub designed for Nissan 4WD pickup and SUV platforms. This automatic free running hub seamlessly engages and disengages the front axle, giving drivers full control over their 4WD drivetrain while reducing unnecessary wear on front-end components during 2WD highway driving. Manufactured from high-grade aluminum alloy, the unit delivers an optimal balance of strength, heat dissipation, and corrosion resistance — essential for markets in Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Russia where humidity, mud, and rough terrain are everyday realities.
Vehicle Compatibility
This 28-spline front wheel clutch hub is a direct bolt-on replacement for Nissan Frontier 1998–2003 2.4L and 3.3L variants, Nissan X-Terra 1998–2003 2.4L and 3.3L variants, Nissan Navara D22 1998–2003 all 4WD configurations, Nissan Pickup D22 1998–2003, and Nissan Hardbody D21 D22 with 28-spline axle.
Please verify your spline count before ordering. Early D21 models may use a 27-spline configuration, which requires a different hub.
Technical Specifications
OEM Reference Number: 40260-1S700 / 402601S700 / 40260 1S700 Cross-Reference OEM: 40260-P31 Spline Count: 28 teeth Material: High-strength aluminum alloy body with steel internal gear ring Hub Type: Automatic free running wheel hub lock Drive Mode Compatibility: 4WD with manual transfer case Weight: Approximately 1.25 kg per unit Finish: Natural aluminum with corrosion-resistant surface treatment Mounting Position: Front left or front right — symmetrical design
Quality Manufacturing and Material Advantages
The hub body is CNC-machined from T6-grade aluminum alloy billet, chosen specifically for its superior strength-to-weight ratio over cast iron or stamped steel alternatives. The internal locking mechanism uses hardened alloy steel gears heat-treated to Rockwell C58–62, ensuring consistent engagement and long service life under high-torque conditions. Every unit undergoes post-machining surface treatment to resist oxidation, salt spray, and chemical exposure — a critical advantage for coastal African markets, tropical Southeast Asia, and Russian winter road conditions where road salt accelerates corrosion. Each clutch hub is individually inspected against OEM dimensional tolerances before packaging.
Key Benefits for Your 4WD Drivetrain
This free wheel hub reduces fuel consumption and drivetrain wear during 2WD highway operation by disconnecting the front axle, while providing seamless automatic engagement when 4WD is engaged via the transfer case. The corrosion-resistant aluminum construction outperforms steel alternatives in humid and coastal environments, and the precision 28-spline interface eliminates excessive play to reduce the risk of hub body failure under load. Direct bolt-on installation requires no modifications, adapters, or special tools for experienced mechanics. The field-serviceable design allows cleaning and re-greasing without replacing the entire unit.
