Maverick problems
MuckingFuddy:
I own a Ford Maverick / Nissan Torrano 2.7tdi and have some noise coming from the underside when ever in two wheel drive, its like a very fast clicking that gets faster when you speed up. dipping the clutch makes no difference, it goes away if you put it in 4wd.
Any ideas????

Hiya
Nissan/maverick same 4x4 differant badge Its much the same as a patrol What your clicking might be in my experance it is the auto/hubs these dry up inside and don`t disingage propley when you go back into 2 wheel drive Take them off and drive it if the clicking stops this is the problem Either clean them and re grease them or do as i would chuck em in a skip and fit manual ones Auto hubs are a real pain That why on GR patrols [i used to have one ] they are manual <-ok you have to get out to put em in !
If it turns out not to be this let me know there are a few other things that it could be but what i just said would be my choice

Thanks for that advice, I will take them out at the weekend see what happens. :wink: will let you know..... if i need them where can i get hold of manual hubs? Im going to sell the maverick once i have it sorted so dont want to spend a fortune...

Problem solved :D !!!!! if you remove the Auto hub cover you will find two rings with a spring in between which lock when drive is applied to the front axle..... Well i stripped mine down and made notes on how it came apart, cleaned and repacked with grease. Then for good measure thought I would do the other side......... :shock: OH MY GOD!!!! :shock: they were assembled differently and the spring was on the outside of the rings, meaning that the rings could not dis-engage. Bloody :evil: mechanics are crooks, they have charged me 3 times to sort this problem out and just made things worse......
Just goes to show that a haynes manual and the guts to attempt the job yourself is all it takes :wink:
Thanks for the help 4play
