Does anyone have a exploded view of the auto hub (90-95)?

 

I replaced my wifes hub with the one I took out of my 93 pathy and today I decided to try the 4 wheel action and the darn thing isnt working properly. For some reason even if its on 2 wheel everytime I put it on reverse and start driving forward it will make a grinding noise and a loud thud maybe its locking??? I could not reference the hub on mine coz I already replaced it with a manual hub.

Im thinking of putting a manual hub on hers but knowing my wife she would not get out of the truck to lock it if needs to. The question is, will it hurt anything if I just lock it for her all winter and just show her how to shift it on 4HI in case she needs to get better traction?

 

Another thing is on her 94 theres no indicator light on the dash when its on 2 wheel but on my 93 theres that little green indicator lights when im on 2wheel drive..a member told me that as long as I know what drive im in that indicator light doesnt really matter

 

 

Thanks fellas

Leaving your manual hubs locked all the time will cause wearage on your cv joints, other than that it wont hurt anything.

Sounds like one of your hubs is not dissengaging making the other one chatter. If you take them off and grease them it might fix your problem (don't overgrease them tho). If you e-mail me at htdbour@hotmail.com, I've got the manual in PDF format I can send you.

 

As for having your hubs looked all winter. I wouldn't worry to much about doing it. You might decrease your gas milleage, but it probably won't be that noticible and some say it's harder on CV boots, but that depends on how much sharp turning you do (parking lots and such). I had auto hubs go bad on me (bad clutches), I locked them permanantly and drove my pathfinder for 2 years with the hubs locked, without seeing any problems.

Thanks for the reply guys.Im going to try to configure the hub assembly.I might have put BRAKE A on backwards. or maybe its BRAKE B. I was able to see the exploded view from courtesy nissan site but its too small for me to determine how those 2 BRAKE cups go

 

If you find it Greg id appreciate it if you can post a larger exploded view.

 

Thanks fellas
