not sure whats going on.

Okay guys another DSM problem!

I installed new hub assemblies on the front my car and now my front wheels dont do anything on my all wheel drive. Its driving like its a rear wheel drive now.

Only thing ive noticed is when my wheel is cut all the way my driver side drive shaft pops up and down a little under the boot closest to the hub. (when moving)

Any help will be appreciated!!!

Did you make sure drive shafts are pushed in all the way on both sides. There should be a point where they pop in, except if they weren't in all the way I would think they would leak atleast on trans side. Other thing did you torque everything down to spec?

 

[twizdt]

yes everything is how it should be. i didnt have this problem when i did the rear hub assemblies a couple months ago either. if my driver front half shaft is broke will it stop my passenger side from working too?

note that i do have LSD aslo.

can anyone please help? i couldnt imagine it being the center differential just from changing hub assemblies??

You have an LSD front differential? You realize those didn't come factory right? How do you know for a fact that your front wheels aren't doing anything?

 

[twizdt]

all i know is when i bought the rear half shafts when i changed them a few months ago i had to buy ones with LSD. i know my front tires arent doing anything anymore because when i took off at a light my rears spun and spun and i had no traction so when i got home i spun them in the driveway and the fronts did nothing. I havent drove it since because i dont want to ruin anything else if its something bad.

if the hub assemblies were meant for front wheel drive would that matter? they looked the same and fit the same.

If the driver front half shaft snapped would it also cause the passenger front to not engage?
