i believe its a automatic friction lock if u don't have manual locking hubs
If 4-wheel drive is not needed, you should unlock the front hubs. Yes, the hubs remain locked even if your front transfer case is not set to 4-wheel drive, and this can be very hard on both the hubs and transfer case.
they should be free, when in 4x4 they should be locked.
(1995) ( Geo) ( tracker ),the wheel light comes on with the hubs locked in and the shifter in , but the 4 wheel drive does not appear to be locking in.
NO. Engaging four wheel drive only engages the transfer case. Older four wheel drives had to have the hubs locked manually, by turning a dial on the hub itself. Newer vehicles no longer require the hubs to be manually locked.
The Ford F2 50 four-wheel-drive hubs will be locked when they are turned to the right. They will be online when they are turned to the left.
Yes, but it will increase wear on the front part of the drivetrain, and also might decrease mileage a little. I only lock the hubs when I might need 4wd in winter.
Most trucks with locking hubs have little switches on the front tires, int he center. Depending on how far they are turned, the wheels will be locked or unlocked. If the 350 is less than twenty years old, you probably don't need to lock the hubs yourself, it will be automatic when you shift into four-wheel drive.
Your hubs should have a "Locked" and an "Auto" setting. Under normal conditions, you should run in auto. Then if you need 4-wheel drive, flip the switch. Should the switch ever malfunction or go out, you have to manually lock and unlock (auto position) the hubs.
a 95 4 runner probably doesn't have locking hubs. it probably has a.d.d. or automatic disconnect differential which means the hubs are always locked. so all you have to do is shift the transfer case lever into 4 wheel drive.
The best way to repair an auto locking hub is to throw it away and get manual hubs. You will get better mileage and when you lock them in you know the hubs are locked in.
