What is the difference between 4 low and 4 high?
Without an Auto setting, 4WD High is what you’d use in any situation that’s low-traction but relatively high-speed—a dirt road or snowy paved road. 4WD Low is strictly for slow off-roading or places where torque multiplication would really help you out (like deep sand).
How do auto locking hubs work?
Automatic Locking Hubs Automatic hubs work on the same principle as freewheeling hubs without the need to exit the car to manually turn the actuator. Many newer 4WD’s come with this as standard equipment. Very simply these units self-engage ‘on the fly’ when 4WD is selected within the cab.
How does a manual locking hub work?
The hub, along with the wheel, is designed to engage (lock) onto the axle, to be powered by the drivetrain in four-wheel drive; or the hub can disengage (unlock) from the axle when four-wheel drive is not needed, thus allowing the front wheels to rotate freely within the hub.
Do you need free wheeling hubs?
Freewheeling hubs were designed to reduce friction and the amount of moving parts in four-wheel drive vehicles. Savings won’t be huge by running with the hubs in the ‘Free’ position, having fewer moving parts also results in lower noise levels and a quieter ride with less vibration from the drive train.
