96 Maverick Noisy hub

(1/2) > >>

Mangaroth:
My 96 mavvy seems to have a problem when i put it in 4WD. im getting a rattling noise from the hubs when i engage 4WD that goes off when i put it back in 2WD

Any ideas what this is..  it still has the original auto hubs fitted, and to be honest i dont think they work.

Cheers Jay

Whatmot:
Auto hubs to have a tendency to stop working/seize up etc etc over time if they are not used. Chances are the internals just need re-greasing, or possibly some of the parts may need replacing (which may explain the rattling). Quickly whip them off and have a look at them, it only takes a minute or two. Sorry if thats a bit vague, I don't have a picture to hand however there is a guide on the Nissan 4x4 OC (but it does require you to join)

Mangaroth:
Im going to strip the hubs down today so will let you know the out come.. if i can get the camera to work ill even take some pics.

thanks for all the advice so far ..

elty001:
i wouldn't personally coat with copper grease just normal grease would be fine.
also dont over pack them as the parts need to move.
have you tried taking the hub off,putting a bit of engine oil in it,re fit it and drive around for a bit to see if ths will free them up.
then do the strip down and clean after this.
