Re: free wheeling hubs

Post by ZGjethro »

I would like some hubs for my M37, mostly for easy of steering in 4x2 mode. I use it in four wheel drive, but pretty gingerly, and not that often. Based on the costs I have seen here, would the AVM or the Selectro be recommended for light duty 4x4 usage? I like the look of the Selectro more, and I have to wonder if it is a better unit since it costs a hundred dollars more

I bought my Selectros from Tom also and they are well constructed units.

Should be quieter since your front drive line isn't turning while in the "free" position-should steer easier too.
