We study spin transport in a Hubbard chain with strong, random, on--site potential and with spin--dependent hopping integrals, tσ. For the the SU(2) symmetric case, t↑=t↓, such model exhibits only partial many-body localization with localized charge and (delocalized) subdiffusive spin excitations. Here, we demonstrate that breaking the SU(2) symmetry by even weak spin--asymmetry, t↑=t↓, localizes spins and restores full many-body localization. To this end we derive an effective spin model, where the spin subdiffusion is shown to be destroyed by arbitrarily weak t↑=t↓. Instability of the spin subdiffusion originates from an interplay between random effective fields and singularly distributed random exchange interactions.
