I busted my auto hubs on the wagon a while ago & changed them to Nissan freewheeling hubs as they're stonger than the auto hubs & a hell of a lot cheaper
From what I was told when I was looking @ getting a set, Nissan freewheeling hubs are a stronger hub than the AVM ones.

Darren at ATS 4WD in Geelong had some machined up.

What do you mean by drive flange? does it leave the hub in an unlockable state?

Replaces the FWH with a drive flange, like what constant 80 Series have.

when i was looking around to change mine everyone said the nissan ones are the stronges readily available ones to get.
im assuming your running over 35s,
the guy at ARB told me that they dont recomend their ones if you got 35s or larger

I was braking AVM ones every weekend I took it off road running 37s, i've since put genuine manual locking hubs on and running 42s and I haven't broken one yet.
Cheers Mick.

AVM's are cheap sacrificial lambs. Good cv and axle saving devices.
Nissan and Aisin fw hubs are probably the strongest.
