When i put my daihatsu spotrak into 4 wheel drive i get an intermittent rattle/grinding/sort of whiring noise from the front drivers side wheel. it comes on when i go over a bump, and in a certain direction. what are the possibilities for what is wrong?
i've just got it and i'm not sure how much the 4 drive has been used in the past. both hi and lo ratios are working, i tried it out.
you need to check if the 4wd
you need to check if the 4wd is actually working, but it sounds to me as though the auto hub is faulty on that side.
They often seize due to lack of use then can get damaged when used

thanks for that rob. the 4
thanks for that rob. the 4 wheel drive is working fine, i tried it out on a very steep and gravely hill climb. went up no prob. is it an easy fix?
I repaired one of my auto
I repaired one of my auto hubs by simply replacing it with another, but its one of those things that can drop to bits when you take it off and bits fall out!!
So take great care when removing it and be sure to get then engaging ring etc back in the right way.
Its easy to remove, but I had to buy some Allen keys from Halfords that work with a socket set, they are from memory 8mm key bolts and were pretty tight
