Clunk! Front hub not unlocking maybe?
« on: February 02, 2010, 08:01:32 AM »
So we got quite a bit of snow here.  The truck had been in 4hi, and I put it in 2hi when I got to the main road.  I reversed a bit after putting it in 2hi, and then went forward onto the main road.  Had a funny sound coming from what sounded like the front drivers side wheel.  Then a loud clunk!  And then nothing else.  Any ideas what this would be?  It's a 94 Tracker LSi 2dr, fyi.

Probably a stuck hub unlocking... does it still pull in 4x4? Do you hear/feel any thing turning up front when unlocked in 2wd?

I haven't put it back in 4wd since it did it.  It clunked once, and didn't make any more noise... It's not pulling in 2wd, so I guess it was unlocking, just in a violent manner.. lol.  Is there something I should do to lube it up, maybe?

Thought so.  Yeah, I did that, and it evidently didn't unlock.  Then when I went forward, it made a funny sound, and then BOOM!  and then it was fine... hope it didn't mess anything up in there... lol
