Dear all, this is a help request from the Netherlands,
2 years ago i bought a jimny knewing that the 4 wheel drive wasn’ t working. The car has had multiple predecessors
Today i tried to change the automatic hubs for the manual hubs. It didnt work.
It appears to be that when I move the front prop shaft by hand the front axle is rotating, but when I put pressure on the front axle, it stops rotating.
I have the idea that some of my predecessors didn’t use the system wisely.
Welcome to the forum. So if the 4x4 is working correctly then with the front wheels in the air if you restrict the propshaft then turn one wheel the opposite side should rotate the opposite direction to the side you are moving. With the propshaft free and one wheel restricted then moving the free wheel will rotate the propshaft. With both wheels free rotation of the propshaft should move both wheels fairly smoothly. When checking this be sure to secure the vehicle on axle stands and work carefully.

Thanks for reply. Next weekend i do some checks like you advised. For now.
I put the wheels in the air, with the hubs off. In 2 wheel drive mode. When i turn the propshaft the spine / axle?. Is turning. When i put pressure on the axle, the propshaft is still turning, but the axles dont move.
If you have the hubs off then yes the propshaft would turn the axle shafts as they in turn drive the hubs which depending on if they are locked or not will either spin free or drive the wheel.
