Hi
My X has been modified to manual hubs, when i bought it they makes a rattle noise , a jingle noise. Upset.
When the shop changed the brake pads, they dismantle the manual hubs and applied grease ( i guess a good amount) inside to stop the jingle.
Bad move?
i didn't use the 4x4 since, what can happens?
Splines were in very good shape, they tell me
 






There should not be any jingle coming from the hubs. If there is a noise, putting grease on it will only hide the noise, not fix what’s wrong.
Possible reasons for a jingle sound would be if there is no C-clip to hold the splined washer tight, or maybe even if the two locking nuts are not tight.

Hello RangerX, take a look when i shaked the hubs., both sides, the same ( this is normal?) . They dismanle it, and add grease inside
