I was HOPING to be able to fix or at least salvage the automatic hubs at this time and replace with manual hubs later, unfortunately this is not, financially, the best time to be thinking of converting to manual hubs.
After pulling the hubs and looking at them, I'm left scratching my head, since they'd appear considerably different from each other.
The first picture is from the passenger side of the vehicle.
The portion of the auto hub that's visible seems to have a snap ring just below the surface of the exterior part of the housing.
The second picture is from the driver's side of the vehicle.
This one has a set of gear teeth around the top edge that aren't present on the opposite hub.
The truck was bought used last fall, the exterior teeth are damaged so that alone will call for replacement before doing any 4x4 running with it. But the question is... is this correct, or is one unit in maybe upside down/backwards? Are they both on the correct sides of the vehicle? I have no idea what the previous owner(s) did or attempted to do or how they did it or if they had someone else do it. I'll probably just slap them back on until I get the manuals but want to make sure I'm putting them back on the correct side so I don't do any more damage if they're not. Thanks for any input.
