Is he busting aftermarket ones or genuine Nissan?

If they're aftermarket then get some genuine ones as they're pretty strong

Ok if they are auto hubs they are stronger than the manuel ones if you manually lock them into 4x4. I know this info from a truck that pumps out big horsies and swears by them. I have a pair for sale $100.

Got it, been e-mailing with Luke at Superior. My problem is that my GU brought Automatics, and for what I understand these only fit Nissan Manuals which are $400(usd) each one, that is $800(usd) a pair...
If these only would fit the automatic, they would be onthe mail from Superior.
In case somebody wanders, not many GU's came with manual hubs to Panama, so there is slim to no chance for finding some at a wreckers.
Just my f***n luck :bad-words:

email Mick (superior) and do a deal with him on a complete set. He should be able to buy a 2nd hand set to get the internals for you and send you them assembled. They are good guys and will help whenever possible.
