bad clunk and front hub getting destroyed

[Tomdinneen]

I am not sure what you call it but it is the cog that slides over you cv spline ground it down to a knife edge should be about 3 to 4 mm wide

[Tomdinneen]

is that something I could check just by inspection

[Tomdinneen]

hey westie will be check for a locker at lunch any thing else I need to know to check it

[Tomdinneen]

just checked for a locker in the front but can spin both wheels freely when other wheel on the ground so no lokka

That test eliminates an lsd diff.
Not sure how to test for a lokka..
Are you running your hubs locked or in auto??

If there was a lokka in you wouldn't be able to spin a wheel free. That's assuming that both hubs are locked in.

Even if not engaged?? Would think an auto lokka acts like an open diff when not engaged??
And the clunk is it engaging??
Just going on thoughts here as I don't have a lokka..

If it was a manual locker perhaps, but an auto lokka no free spin.

Auto lokkas aren't so much an auto locker, but more of an auto UN-locker. They are locked 100% of the time. When you want to turn, for the wheels to turn at different speeds (outside has to go a lot further), 1 wheel can go faster. So instead of the inside wheel basically stopping on a sharp turn, and the drive going to the outside wheel, it swaps. The drive goes to the inside wheel and the outside wheel spins faster. Both wheels can only ever spin as slow as the engine is going.


I have a feeling that probably won't make much sense, but there is a good write up about them on the superior engineering site.

just been in albany talking to dave at auswest 4wd wrecking . He was saying that it is probablay just a shit set of hubs he has had major troubles in the past with after maket hubs aparently they are non forged making them far softer then genuine or avm hubs also the contact on the splines is far less only 3 to 4 mm instead of 6 or 7 mm so got a set of second hand genuine one coming on monday will let you know how i go
