Title: Hi Guys!!
Post by: OldBlueZook on April 29, 2007, 09:59:03 PM

Hey guys!  Just joined up to the forum.
Been lurking for a while, but never joined.

I have a question for all you Samuray Goorus out there.  I recently towed my samurai for a day of fun out in the desert.  While we were out one of the other persons out with our group was hurt and well that ended our outing.  I was in such a rush to get on the road that I forgot to set the front hubs to "free".  Well a few miles down the road My zooks front end went out with a loud Thud.
I'm yet to take my front end apart, but I was wondering if anyone here would know what all I might of broken?

Any and all replies are welcome!  Thanx a bunch!

Hi, welcome to the site. Start it up drive it in driveway and see if the front end makes any noise...  Its possible you may have broke a axle shaft or something else gave in there.   Taking apart the front end isnt that bad, just take your time.   There are alot of usefull information on this on various suzuki boards.

I can't help with the axle problem, could be a CV or the diff, you may as well just start stripping it down because you're going to have to replace something  :(. Welcome to the board though.
