In my opinion Aisin freewheeling hubs are the only ones to buy, the are the strongest and they are really simple to service.

I don't know why but theres something at the back of my head telling me the circlip on an SJ sits in a different place than on the Vitara on the stub axle/CV joint. Like I say I may be wrong. Im sure someone else will know better than me.........

Your fuel consumtion will improve, don't think it cuts out any noise unless your front ujs are fecked, feels weird when you first put them on lol

Plus it's very handy if you break anything on the front, ie diff, cv, driveshaft or prop
