Manual freewheeling hubs,

my Manual freewheeling hubs are clicking when you turn but still have all 4 wheels going round when in 4wd ok do they just need cleaning up n new lub or something more
has anyone had this with theres mfw hubs ?

hi it not that loud and you cant feel thought the truck it only happens when i turn fwh to lock and turning the clicking stops when you are in freewheel turning or not. if it was the cv's would they not click all the time even if the hubs are on or off ??????? iv striped down fwh yesterday checked ,cleaned n new lub them up all seems ok but still clicking/clunking when on lock ??
tar for any help .

Kirkynut

Could it be the tyres catching the arches/inner arch liners that would give a clicking noise

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO ITS NOT!

been thinking since last post i was thinking if it was the cv's they would click/cluk all the time but now not sure as it would put more load on cv's when freewheeling hubs are locked so maybe why it dont click/cluk when they are in freewheel am i thinking right

o and plz no more silly things like tyres rubbing i could have a party in my arches im not a complete idiot lol

sounds like a cv joint to me

it will mostly click in 4wd on lock, not in 2wd, and not usually in a straight line unless its completely buggered and then you'll notice less lock one one direction

i think your right i think i was just hoping it was the freewheeling hubs lol o well hd cv's n shafts here we come which one you guys running dont want shit one money no object whats best give me a head start on my hunt anyone used or spoke to reco prop in luton????

Especially if a wheel arch liner happens to be a bit adrift like mine was.

i do not have any wheel arch liners all been removed and all lips n metal trimed off then seam welded

thanks i knew about reco prop as they not far from me but was looking for hd cv's n shafts iv found some manafacturers in italy but dont know the lingo lol its going to be fun on the phone lol

o and dont get me started on the other bit it maybe in good faith but when you aks about something like cv's n fwh clicking tyres rubbing dont help some think they know more than the bloke driving it at times if you cant tell the difference between a mechanical clicking/clunk to a rubbing tyre well.............. ill try and play nice from now on but i do spk my mind
and if anyone eles knows of hd cv's n shafts be good n plz no more tyre rubbing arches things thanks

And please be careful with your answers to people who have offered answers to you in good faith. It is perfectly possible to have loads of room under your arches and still have tyre rub, mine do.
