    Is there anything else it could be or am I just best of putting Manuel locking hubs i

    Hi guys just after a little help thought I blow a hub the other weekend was drive up hill and my right hand front kept letting go with a Bang and then re locking I changed it from auto lock to Manuel lock and it was alright for a few hours Then happens a handful more times I replace the hub and now at first drive it start in grind again but as soon as I slow to 10kph it grabs and locks back in.

    Is there anything else it could be or am I just best of putting Manuel locking hubs in

    Cheers

    Is there too much grease in there. After learning from this forum and taking another vehicles auto hubs apart, I could see how the excess grease could cause the auto hub to engage.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    if the hub looks ok inside it when you take it off . it might be that you have broken a cv joint.

    I would say you are -always- better putting in manual hubs, or manualising the auto ones.
