    Looks like the auto hubs are rooted and may have engaged before self districting which would have probably been part of your other issues although not your brake issue, I still think you have dropped a pad but haven't seen the other thread so not up to date.

    As per the link posted by mythird. Remove and bin. Replace both hub assemblies with either after market or second hand genuine. Manual hubs would've a winner but it's a packet. Give Patrolapart a call as they will probably have a pair on the shelf.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Sorry Bexxy I thought you also posted the other thread but not so. Ignore my Brake pad comment.

    Remove the hubs as they have collapsed and replace. Easy job.

    Did this happen after being in 4wd? Do you Reverse the car to disengage your hubs when dropping into 2wd?

    Can you link to your other question mate so I have some context for this thread.

    Yeah, based on the time you have available, cash & your abilities with the maintenance mechanics of a vehicle, make your own judgement where to take the vehicle, whether it's your own home garage DIY or nearest professional fella with his pen and hands on the receipt pad. ]

    I agree with MudRunnerTD. I think your auto hubs may need replacing, although I've got no idea why they stuffed in the first place. Manual hubs are the way to go, be it new or used from a wrecker.
    Nissan didn't master autohub thing in GQs and GUs(dunno about later models) from what I've heard. I've heard many guys replacing the auto hub with manual ones.
