This is what happened when I tightened up the screws for the auto hub.

How soon should a be changed.

Funny thing was it didn't seem that it was all that tight

[mudski]

Should be changed asap mate. I seen you. Your name should be Arnold.

Whoah! That is unreal. Can't believe it broke like that!
I would definitely change it before you put it into 4wd next!

it snaps then back it
off half a turn!!!"

What about just 2wd on the road, shouldn't be a problem, right?
How common is this to happen.

[happygu]

It will be ok in 2wd ....

I fitted these to mine, not sure how much difference they make, but I imagine they spread the load a bit more than none at all.

I thought they would have at least some sort of a washer. You will probably find the alloy was already fatigued, and that was the final straw.

I'd just upgrade to manual hubs to be honest.

If the Hub is still sitting flush on its seat, I don't see a problem driving in 2wd, just make sure you're not leaking any grease.

Cheers!

Must of had your wheties for breakfast.

They may of already been weakened/damaged. Should be fine in 2wd for now. Change before you need 4wd drive though.

Thanks for the replies.

Don't what to get a second hand pair, so what you you people recommend as a aftermarket type.

[mudski]

They're fine second hand mate.

Most seem to go avm, but a second hand set of genuine hubs is just as good if not netter.

Cheers

Only concern with s/h is what if the same thing happens.

[jay see]

Anyone got a set that they want to get rid of.

[mudski]

Nisshead has got one. I know the housing on his is good, the auto mech onone of his was shot i think. So he replaced it was a second hand one.

Thanks mate, I've seen those. Will see what they are closer to the end of bidding.

[Chubba]

Same thing happened to me and I went 4wding with and it was fine, keep a close eye on them and they didn't get any worse. Since I have replaced them with new manual hubs with a set of the washers cuppa mentioned. Fiddly job but not hard. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Auto-to-Manual-Hubs-Conversion-complete-Kit-Nissan-Patrol-GQ-GU-Y60-Y61-Maverick-/261976489113?hash=item3cff03fc99

4WD bits in NZ do an unbreakable FWH, but it comes at a price $$$$$
