Locking front hubs.

[David 2.4td]

Hello gwh200,
no not met mattf yet and it doesn't matter to me if your ginger or not (even the gingers can operate in society, just give em a chance) and as for transvestites, well we've all dabbled, it doesn't make you a bad person. Let me know if you want my old barbed wire g string.

Don't forget to undo the bolts that lock the adjusters in position before turning the long adjuster bolts. This is the reason they snap as some have found out the hard way.

I've got manual freewheeling hubs on mine - the idea being to save UJ wear and maybe add a little fuel ecconomy. They were an after-market fittment

Were they difficult to fit? i know apache said its a straight changeover but nothin goes that easy when i do it

Ian they are a piece of p155 to fit.
Just take out the 6 or so bolts holding the hub on to show the bearings and then bolt on the hubs.

Cheers Rich, seriously thinking about these, seems a good idea, (if a tad expensive)
never saw the point of haveing all that stuff turning when your not useing 4WD, gonna phone roughtrax and have a chat with barry i think

One thing i'd like to ask tho, if i'm fitting 2" balljoint spacers is it essential to replace the original shocks? cant afford all this stuff in one go

I thought for a minute he had found a 2.3, didn't think they made one slower then a 2.4

Richard, are you forgetting, remove bolts, clean and paint bolts, remove hub, clean all bits inside hub and paint, refit hub, clean polish and paint, refit newly painted bolts.

These jobs take longer than people think.

Roylittle0, well it may aswell be a 2.3, it couldn't pull me out of bed in the morning, let alone the *ock of a chocolate mouse. POPEYE, i notice your little caption says 2.4 td intercooler, did yours come with an intercooler or did you fit one yourself? If so did notice an appreciable difference?

i have a 2.3..........i found the other 100cc under the back seat, but you are right.
as far as power goes its about as much use as stephen hawking's drumkit
