locking hubs
I've read that if you don't wheel often, it's a good idea once a
month to lock in your hubs for a few miles, to splash lubrication up on the bearings. If this is true, why not just leave the hubs locked in all the time? Then you'll get constant lubrication, and if you need to shift into 4wd in snowy/muddy/rainy conditions, you won't have to mess with getting out in the sloppy weather and manually locking the hubs in. |
Re: locking hubs
It saves wear and tear on all those bearings, gears etc... and it also saves
gas. With the hubs locked some of the engines energy is going into needlessly moving all those parts.

Re: locking hubs
When I first got my jeep I was driving down the highway and it felt
squirrelly. I didn't have the power I thought I should but I didn't have a reference so I thought this is how it should be. Then I went for a smog check and the guy found that the hubs were locked. After that my jeep drove much better on highway speeds. bill "sm3gurpal" <elambeth@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:88f4ec61.0401270548.6e81ea46@posting.google.c om... > I've read that if you don't wheel often, it's a good idea once a > month to lock in your hubs for a few miles, to splash lubrication up > on the bearings. > > If this is true, why not just leave the hubs locked in all the time? > Then you'll get constant lubrication, and if you need to shift into > 4wd in snowy/muddy/rainy conditions, you won't have to mess with > getting out in the sloppy weather and manually locking the hubs in. |
