After I did a Full-Time four wheel drive swap to a NP205 part-time case, I put on Dana 44 Spicer Hubs on my 1976 truck. They look just like this:

A week ago, my wheel bearing went out, and while I was in there I noticed the hub was broke (the yellow plastic piece has a pin inside of it, and the pin was sheared and the plastic was broke).

Today, my truck was making a weird cluck when I steered. Turns out the other hub is broke. The internal yellow plastic broke on this side now. Is there a metal replacement for the yellow turning piece?

I would like to avoid buying new steel hubs and just upgrade from the plastic center to a metal center.

Does anybody make a metal center for this hub?

Thanks everyone!!!!!
