When I told about auto hubs I meant hubs like on old Vitara.

2jimny_99 If you don't wanna use hub spacers you need to use Vitara's wheel hub nut or cut original Jimny's wheel hub nut boards to make it flat.

It's normal. Jimny does not have central diff that's why steering on hard and dry surface is difficult. Rear and front wheels must turn with different speed in turn.

Auto locking hubs turn off then turn on each time when you change driving direction. It may be a problem when you try to swing a car. So manual hubs are more preferable. For swaping vacuum to manual hubs you will need a spacer between hub and wheel hub about 6 mm. http://zuki-up.ru/sites/default ...

Sometimes it does not work. When you leave your car right after driving disks are hot. Than they warm down and slightly loose their width. That's it. Your car don't have engaged hand brake. Otherwise you leave your car in morning but day is very sunny and hot. Disks slightly widen and you can not ...

I think I will move to disk brake on rear shaft-propeller. Line lock is not my way I don't like it.

in the WT sierra application how are these axles strength compared to the STD suzuki axles. The only downfall i could see is if you break an axle the would be quite a long wait for a replacement (unless you also bought spares) I hope that my half-shafts are weaker than stock R&P because exchanging ...

thanks

I forgot to write about minuses.

• -the width of rear axle becomes longer to 30 mm
  -hand brake is gone

I think how to make hand brake. My Jimny has auto transmission so this problem is not so sharp for me.

There is a large cavity inside the hub and it's not vented. If it's hot and then submerged it WILL pull mud in. There's more sealing faces that water can pass. On a stock front end, the inner hub seal is protected by the brake backing plate. Once the backing plate is removed there's a clear and ...

There is a company in Italy that makes fulll floater kits for Suzuki's including the Jimny. There are pics on their site but I cannot remember what the site was :oops: or know what Italian for full floater is to do a search. Yes. I know about zanfi.it. I thought about buying their KIT but it was ...

I can not say you exactly how strong my new axles are but I will test them in a laboratory on Thursday. I'll broke my half-shaft and stock one.

Of course you know how weak rear half-shaft bearing is. I mean it's ok if you drive in a city only and your Jimny never sees mud and water. But if you regularly drive in mud you must know. Rear half-shaft bearing is not protected from water and this is a reason of quick dying. I thought about this ...
