auto hubs
Hi Dave,
I have a Sportrak also with Auto hubs, and the problem with mine was the 4 wheel drive was not engaging (only had 2 wheel drive at the rear) we stripped the hubs and welded them up to ensure permanent front hub lock.
It now works fine, and 4 wheel drive is still selectable. The auto hubs were only put on as a fuel economy thing and unless serviced and lubricated regularly they do seize up, and as most 4x4's only ever see tarmac anyway, 4 wheel drive is never optimised. But for serious off road fun 4 wheel drive is essential, so locking the hubs up permanently is a better idea.
