Hi All, I have done a swivel hub rebuild(thanks scrawny for your advice). I am 99% sure that I have put the hub back correctly. It turns back and forth nice and freely. Is there any kind of test I can do to make sure? Locking hub...sorry should have been a bit clearer. Cheers Rusho |

Go for a drive Seriously though, have your Transfer in 2WD. Lock both hubs in, crawl underneath and turn your front drive shaft by hand. It may take nearly a full turn for it all to lock in, but once it does, you shouldn't be able to turn the shaft anymore. If you can keep turning it, then either one or both your hubs aren't working properly. |

While I have your mind ticking about movement in wheels. Bearing, full hub rebuild, positive that everything is tightened up correctly. It has the same movement in it before i did the swivel hub rebuild. Any ideas?? |

I put the same shims back in..how do i tell if i need more shimming, and where can i purchase such shims? I can't get the wheel bearing any tighter without making the wheel spinning freely without restriction if that makes sense |

Just jacked the front up, I hate trying to explain things! It feels like the wheel is not doing up enough, its the kind of movement you could expect if you undid the nuts a poof-tinth. Fucked if i know anymore. I might take it to someone who cares/knows. |

I do both but it`s imposable to fix on a key board, you need to get some one to wobble it while you are under the front & watch the swivel hub & knuckle to see if there is any movement, if there is it the shim`s on the king pin, If movement is there, take the smallest shim out & try again... |
