Hi all,
Just got myself a 1991 Daihatsu Sportrak... but the 4WD isn't working
The transfer box is engaging, but the front wheels are still free-wheeling. Apparently if the 4WD hasn't been used for a while, the auto hubs get stuck.
Is there a procedure for freeing them off again?

that bulletin is just showing how to put the steering wheel straight, bit of a cheat really because if the alignment was correct in the first place this problem wouldn't exist, as tony quoted in his post if the thrust-line is dead centre then front wheels can be set to match with no problem, but if the rear wheels are slightly toeing to one side, then even though the front tracking may appear to be correct the steering will need to be held at an angle to correct the problem. ever seen an old mini 'crabbing'?
"ever seen an old mini 'crabbing'?"... that is so funny when I get behind one doing that

I still worry about my exhausts as they're rather loud
.Had the police behind me a couple of times, so I have to take it really steady with the gas... would/could they pull me?
Excluding actual DB measurements, the exhaust should sound 'similar' to the original factory fitment. Other than that a loud exhaust could just make you a target for the law.... to be fair some owners do abuse the noise to the max.
"the exhaust should sound 'similar' to the original factory fitment..." Mmmmm, that would be 0DB then
My intention was never to abuse the law, just wanted to be different... approaching my 40's (
), i'm not your typical "boy-racer" any more - hence I drive a Lexus -
