Help Pls. 1994 Fourtrak/Rocky F73 Auto Hubs 99k miles
After using 4 WD to back a heavy Trailer I followed the usual reversing procedure to disengage 4WD (4H). But then driving forward apparently in 2WD (4WD light off) there is a severe banging from we think the area of the Drivers side front wheel. Have tried reversing to disengage procedure several times with same result. I cannot be sure but the lever may not go all the way forward when selecting 2WD. Driving in 4 WD/4H steering heavy but no banging. Power steering pump recently replaced.
Situation a bit desperate as daughter has an important horse event Saturday. Grateful for any advice pls.
Fourtrak banging on reengaging 2WD
I should have added that the trailer was backed on grass and 4WD engaged because of wheel slip. Problem appeared at low speed within 20/30 yards of going forwards. I had to drive 1 1/2 miles in 4WD to get home at 20 mph. Surmise steering heavy because of Daihatsu 4WD/diff system.
Key issue I guess is whether this is an Auto hub problem or driveshaft/diff/ transfer box problem.
TIA
2WD banging
I have now changed the DS auto hub which was itself a replacement it seems with extra componentshe replacement is more basic as the HS.
Anyway, it makes no difference, the banging is still there going forward in 2WD.I have read many past postings on this forum but am flummoxed about what to do next.
