Hubs

[shmiggy]

So uh, i've got a 91, and im curious if anybody knows if the spline count on the auto hub is the same as the manual? im thinking about going manual hubs, i've discovered that the auto hubs are pretty good at making little pieces smaller pieces in very low load applications. oh, and im new to the forum, so, hello.

I have 2 sets of auto hubs I will never use.. 1 set I know it good, the other set MAY just need cleaning.. I kept them, somebody from here or elsewhere may want them one day

Manual hubs are a direct swap with the two spindle nuts and lock washer that you can get in a conversion kit, or if you get the hubs from the junk yard then just take the spindle nuts off of that parts vehicle. Search for manual hub swap and you will be amazed at how much info you already have at your finger tips with the press of the search button! Welcome to the forum and enjoy

Give that a look. Many of us have tossed the Autos for manuals.
Very simple 1/2 hour job. more if you want to repack the Bearings while you have the Spindle Nuts off.
