I may still have my old auto hubs here somewhere if you want them, but you will have to pay postage from Christchurch if they are what you want. Give me the spline count off yours and I will check them out for you. Finally I have the time to get back into this. The Hub is 27 tooth. And if i do this ...

I may still have my old auto hubs here somewhere if you want them, but you will have to pay postage from Christchurch if they are what you want. Give me the spline count off yours and I will check them out for you. This would be most appreciated. Yep not a prob to pay for postage. Do you have ...

Well guys. I've had some more time today to go a bit further with this problem. I have soaked the Auto Hubs and air dusted but no change. I can see once all the grease was washed out that there is cir-clip expanding into the hub wall, I am not sure how to take this off as it appears to have the ...

Auto Hub, cheers for that, guess I should have picked that from the label on the outside of the same.
Thanks for the link to edit my profile.

Still got the same Probs though.
Wondering if it was worth the time to change the Hubs over from left to right just to be sure it is what I'm thinking it is.

I'm in Tauranga, speaking of which how to get location showing on my profile? The CV shaft is locating into the locker, I don't know how far it should go though. In the locker itself there is a splined shaft which appears to have to move outwards to engage into the locker body. To me it doesn't seem ...

Ok, I've checked things out, the axle that did rotate was the side with the faulty locker. I've had this out today and all seems well greased and no bits fell out. Phew! The internal shaft with spline does not seem to move far enough out to engage the locker unit. To my inexperienced eye I felt the ...

Wow thanks guys. Yep in 2WD, neutral. front shaft continues to rotate either direction several times. So what comes next. I'm keen, if someone can tell me where to start. If it is a big and or expensive job, would my mere amateur abilities be able to fit up a Manual locking system if this is going ...

Thanks for that, any suggestions on checking the Front hubs.

I would note, when one rear was spinning the other rear was not along with the front also not driving.

I have a 96 Mistral. I have much to learn about the workings of my 4wd system! When having a play this last weekend, I got stuck when one wheel lost traction no others would drive. All other wheels where on track-able ground. I was in 4wd low ratio. I've almost destroyed my little manual winch ...

Suspension; Shocks seem to rebound as they should. The adjusters on torsion bars were very different on each side. Before todays effort, when looking at the back of the truck it was always on a lean where ever it was parked. Not perfect now but much better, and Drive does feel better. Off to ...

Thanks for that. I found it a little difficult to get a precise measurement with the gate pivoting point being slightly under the cover. However what I've reasoned out and used to set up the actuating rod length, is to remove the pressure pipe, set up my compressor to 15 psi at the air gun and ...

hey really appreciate your input here. Re the the waste gate actuator, I have been under the hood again just this Sunday afo. My Actuator only appears to have a lock nut on the threaded rod from actr to lever on top of the gate. To adjust the rod I need to use vice grips or similar to wind the rod ...

1. Can some one help me out with the correct adjustment for the rod adjuster which I think is attached to the Turbo Gate.(seen from the top of engine.) Ive only had this for about 6 months and still finding things not quite right. In this case, the adjuster locking nut was loose so I'm not even sure ...

Have you tried the wreckers. I don't know your location but the commercial and 4x4 wreckers in Hamilton and Rotorua have a lot of eng and trany computers on their shelves. Short of this. If you know of an approachable tv type technician they definitely have the kind of knowledge needed to find the ...

In Tga. Yep know all about Kati side of Thompsons, tried that many years ago on a bike. FAILED!! Maybe I had better leave doing the western side of Thompsons till I get a little more experience under my belt. If I got stuck up there? well mayby not just yet by the sounds of things. Where was that ...

Thanks. Do you mean it is a good days drive from the end of the Seal or Gate Or? I haven't been up there. If so any other shorter drives for this newby. I was hoping to take my 8 year old for a few hours of off road fun, without scaring him, this long weekend. He enjoyed Woodhill, LOL, except for ...

Hi everyone. Thought this looks like an interesting place to start. Back in Easter I got to take my old Mistral through the Woodhill sand tracks. My first off road experience. With no guidance. No dents and lots of fun. Had my 23 year old from Auck with me as well as the 8 year old. So this leads me ...
