what does it take to switch out auto hubs??
« on: Jan 25, 2012, 06:36:02 PM »
My friend just bought a 87 4runner thats still IFS he has no plans to change that because he doesn't wheel or anything. He bought it and it has a bad front hub that is a auto one, which i know nothing about because all ive had are first gens. how hard is it too change them to locking hubs? and is it even worth it? like i said i dont know anything about those any help would be great  :beerchug:
