d22 grind when in 4wd

[madnuts]

Hey guys
when I lock my hubs in and try to drive I get a grind and clunk coming from the front.
but if I lock just one hub there is no noise Help

More than likely your hubs are worn and not engaging properly or they need to be stripped and cleaned re-greased ect but why do you drive with one hub locked?not a good idea.

 

[madnuts]

ive only just brought it and heard the noise so tried to find out if one of the hubs wasn't working

 

[happy john]

You can just go and buy a new set nizbits should be able to help i had the same problem years ago it was slipping in and out of drive hence the noise.

 

[madnuts]

what are they worth and do u have a link thanks

This is what happened to mine. But one of mu hubs was siezed in lock and the other locked in free position. I did the stupid thing and went beach driving like this stopping every few minutes seeing if i coukd engage the free hub only making it worse stripping the hubs internally. Mechanic cleaned and regreased and somehow got the hub to bite on the last few splines still with teeth on them but recommended a new set. Have the avm hubs ready to put in just finding time to install is a drama.

[madnuts]

are the hard to install

 

[RustyNav09]

Take 10 minutes a side. Pull the hub off by removing the 6 hex head bolts and pull it off. Then grab the new hub apply a small amount of grease inside(to much grease will affect how they work aswell) and reinstall.

Will be doing mine this weekend hopefully with the avm units which rwquire me tt remove the circlip holding the cv in etc.

Don't forget to get yourself some circlip plyers first.

Cheers Brad

 

[madnuts]

Yeah mate already have some

 

[madnuts]

What damage should I look for

 

[RustyNav09]

If it's hubs it will be the obvious stripped internal splines of the hub and metal shavings etc. If your swapping genuine hub for genuine hub you won't need the circlip pliers I do t think. Just going from genuine to aftermarket you have to change the whole mounting body

 

[madnuts]

I don't 4wd that much so might go genuine

 

[RustyNav09]

I am just giving the avm aftermarket units a test run. You can get the genuine ones off eBay or from nizzbits for cheaper then the aftermarket ones I purchased at $230 set

 

[madnuts]

No metal shaving but little pin in hub snapped hub fell apart when pulled out

 

[fourocker]

I don't 4wd that much so might go genuine

Nothing wrong with the genuine ones at all, some think they're at least as good or better than aftermarket.

 

[madnuts]

Well it's going in for a service on the front diff

 

[madnuts]

Avm ordered $250 is that good ?

 

[RustyNav09]

I paid 230. So yeh its on par

 

[madnuts]

Just hope it fixes the problem
