Diesel Novice
ok, so i dont have a diesel, but since you guys are smarter and nicer than all the other ford forums, im gonna start coming here again.
I got a 93 f150, 5.0, 4x4.
it has the auto hubs, i havent engaged the 4wd because i have different sized tires front to back. but i would like to get the same sized tires for snow use this winter.
i just did my rotors and pads last night, and learned a little about the auto hubs in the process.
one side had a small clip with a small ball bearing, which the small spring would press against. this clip/bearing was missing from the drivers side will my 4wd even work like this
also the washer thing with 4 tabs between the two nuts was a ***** to get out on that side, the c clip was chewed lookin, cleaned it up with a file, and the little dowel in the one nut was a little broken at the end. it pushed right into the nut when i pushed it, so i left it that way, not knowing it was supposed to stick out. passenger side had no dowel
how difficult is it to swap to manual hubs? If i am gonna have to hunt down small parts, it may be easier to find a kit
