auto free wheeling hubs ???????????????????

[bobjs]

Hi Guys

I had a set of free wheeling hubs on my 20l diest vit and when i siold it i took them off and fitted them to my 1.6 petrol auto,

all i did was remove them from one to the other and since then it seems that my little 1.6 petrol will not go into 4 wd.

i have changed them over off side to near side etc and still the same.

select 4 wd and move forward nothing happens to the front wheels all the drive is still on the back, no clicking as if they where trying to engage etc.

i did no prep the the car at all just removed and fitted the auto hubs to my 1.6 and placed the ones on it onto the old diesel etc.

can you help.

Auto hubs they are normally air or electric activation so wont lock if this isn't connected

Some are just mechanical I think robbie.

Personally I'd just bin them and gets some manual ones, automatic ones always seem to fail when you need them most!

Ive only seen the air on jimnys where the air lines split and electric on a vit but yeah i would chuck them

i had these on my 2lt diesel and they worked fine, just wanted to ask did i need to do anything to the hubs before i attached them,

like: remove a circlip or something, as all i did was remove them from the diesel and fitted them onto the petrol vit ??

When you removed them did you have to do anything special or did you just unbolt them?

Hi Robbie

nothing special bud,

just unbolt then place on the other truck,

the diesel had failed its mot on loads of stuff so i was taking off what i wanted to keep for the wee petrol boy.

thank you

After a bit of a search i found this http://www.suzuki-forums.com/suzuki-sid ... moval.html not the greatest amount of info but might be of some help

cheers robbie

ill have to leave them for now as i will need to strip them down and have a look, i think they are not fixed sides ( ie: one HAS to go on the left and the other on the right etc) but im out of work just now and will have to keep them on there until i have time to have a look,

thank you

You've been fighting with those for months
Found a workshop manual since I last posted up some info on "Difflock".
