Choosing freewheeling hubs
Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2013 8:27 am
I have a R50 auto 2.7 turbo diesel. It has the fixed 28 spline front hubs.
It doesn't see much time off road. I've been considering fitting freewheeling hubs, but unsure what I need to spend to do the job for me.
Also unsure what sort of fuel saving benefit that they will offer.
I see these listed on TM, and are wondering whether they will do the job for me for occasional lightest use (when I usually need 4wd it is a slippery surface)

The seller says that they are chinese and they have been selling for sometime in Aussie and now NZ with only positive feedback.
Don't really want to spend $400, $250 is fine, but would be prepared to pay a bit more for reasonable quality.
Any comments or advice on what to purchase, or where to purchase sharp price ones would be really appreciated.
I need them for Christmas, so would rather source from NZ
