Hi,

I have attached 2 photos I just took from my car.

I just don't know what I really lost driving on the highway.......I think I lost my driver's side automatic hub.

I heard a very light spring popping sound (really it was hardly anything), and the result was the photo. I have gone back to look for 'it' but coulnt find it.....

I have searched an automatic hub 1984 MQ/MK from the wreckers, and it was extremely difficult to find one. But I did! I have to drive 2 hours to get it though, which I am happy to do (NOT with the patrol ), but I hope I am getting the right part. I specifically asked for the MQ automatic hub, and the guy says it is waiting for me in a plastic bag for $65 to be picked up.

So:

What have I lost to what extent? Is this normal or should I expect further problems? I checked the screws/bolts on the left one and they seem to be tight. So god knows what happened.....

1) Can I be pretty sure that the $65 automatic hub sourced is what I need?
2) how long should it take for a mechanic/non mechanic to put it on?
3) any tips on where or who would want and can do that? (as in good mechanics inner north Brisbane etc.)
4) Can I drive with my car to the mechanic without probs (I already did for 2 hours driving home, so I guess that's a yes)

5) Anything else I should know?

Please enlighten me about this part.

Thanks
Henriette
