Post by araon » Thu May 01, 2014 6:13 pm

well just new and need help please, bought my 2004 GV 2TD with burnt clutch so removed gearbox to get it out and found the release bearing stuck to the shaft, after having a look around all look ok apart from the front diff input flange just spins and does not seem to be connected in any way is there any common faults I should know about? also what is the best company to deal with for accessories i.e lift kits,wheels? I would like to uprate the suspention and fit bigger wheels it has 235/16/16 on at the moment but would like to know what others do in this department? any help would be great, cheers :smokin:

I would have thought that if you can turn your front diff it could be that you the hubs are in the unlock position,not sure if they are manual or auto on your model,of course i could be wrong.

When not in 4wd the front propshaft will spin freely :thumbup:
When you put the transfer box in 4wd it also puts the front differential into gear.
Not as good as freewheel hubs but still saves wear on the diff gears and propshaft.
Don't put it in 4wd on the tarmac though as Suzuki's don't have a centre differential.
