Deleting free wheeling hubs

Post by MissDrew »

I`m thinking of deleting the free wheeling hubs on my hilux and just bolting on the hub like a constant 4x4 80 series has. My hilux is lucky if it does 5,000kms a year now as it mainly does comps and gets towed to most of them so I`m not worried about the front end turning all the time.

Why? 1 less thing to break and no chance of somebody turning out a hub at a comp.

What do you think? and will the ones off a constant 4x4 80 bolt on? If not not model will?

I thought this too but mines not a trailer queen, and if you break something its nice to just flick the hub and drive on without worrying
about something locking up or recieving more damage.

early 40s and 45s had the "caps" instead of locking hubs .... just make sure the are the same spline count as yours ... there is a fine spline and coarse spline (you can pick the difference by eye they are majorly different)
the 75 series utes at my work run the "caps" so they would stop breaking front hubs so they shouldnt be too hard to find

The 80 hubs should bolt straight on. I replaced my 80 constant 4x4 front hubs with a set of hilux freewheeling hubs.

Toyota must've used the same splined front axles across their whole range from about 85 on.

Dont use them Dave. If you break a CV in competition and the wheel locks up you cant unlock the hub and continue. I have never broke a stock asian hub. As long as they are bolted on Tight they never fail.

I have had 1 let go, it only broke when the cv broke. The only lock up I have ever had from a broken cv was the steering and unlocking the hub doesn`t fix that.

doesn't take long to undo a few bolts and remove the drive flange.

Anything for a solid axle Toyota 1976-1997 will work. The bolt pattern is the same. The only ones that can give you trouble are ones from the 1995-1997 full time 80 series, as they are deeper so that your c-clip will not fit at the end of the CV.

Gday
The 80 caps your after are the 1990-1992 constant ones, they use thesame size c/v as the dx's do 1990-98
If you want a pair i will swap you the lux f.w.h's for them....no problem.
Or, $90 each from yota.
