Hi All
has anyone installed free wheel hubs on the latest jimny if so what type ,or the suggestion i have had from some dealers
is that the previous jimny free wheel hubs should fit can any one help seems the front axel spline is 26 and pcd im not sure.
Thanks
Robin
less drag on your front axel if not in 4wd possible better fuel consumption less wear and tear on the front axel.
If you wanted to engage in 4wd you would have to get out and change the free wheel hub to 4wd thats the main disadvantage.
What's wrong with the vacuum operated ones whilst it's new? They work just fine when in good condition.
The only advantage to swapping to the manual ones at this early stage is that it can give you 2wd low for low speed control i.e reversing a trailer in a yard.

Would it mean you could engage the 4wd on normal road driving?
No, whatever hubs are fitted you still have no centre diff

But that's exactly what the factory vacuum hubs do with the advantage of being operated on demand from the cabin, no need to get out to engage.
When I swapped mine Dreadnaught was well out of warranty and the cost difference between repairing and replacing was minimal.
