Evening ORE,

Just been to my mechanic and found that one of my auto (factory) hubs has the manual lock spinning freely, and 4WD doesn't work.

So, afaik it'll need another front hub...

Trademe has two different sets of chinese manual lockers for sale:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=488781938 $295

anyone got a sweet set of working factory hubs or a sharp price on a new set?

Thanks
Adam

Yep went with the Cal offroad set (axle/cv) I got the axles and cvs through Warren (4wdbits) a few years ago they started clicking after the first comp but its been over 3 years now and still holding together ,When i had the reduction gears in the T/case we could break factory cvs at will, even tried some Yuri ringed ones ,(they lasted 3 runs) :roll:
