nikko,

Check your drive status indicator on the dashboard. Does it have the words 'Super Select on them. Like this:

.

Then it's not supposed to have hubs be it manual or automatic. If your hubs say AUTOMATIC then they are automatic which basically means you stop, shift into four wheel drive and drive off again without having to manually turn the hubs. Unlocking is simply a matter of shifting back into 2H AND BACKING UP a few feet or so. Something which a lot of people keep forgetting to do.

notEworthy27,

Automatic hubs simply mean you do not have to alight from the vehicle to lock/engage them. But they are still governed by the same laws which prevent 4wd systems from being driven on paved roads (e.g. binding phenomena, etc.).

nikko,
Nakow, nakatay na pala ang SS4wd mo. Hehehehe. Nasan na yung inalis na plug sa dulo ng axles? Yung pinaglagyan ng hubs now? Pwede pa naman iyan ibalik. Mas simple pa nga ang arrangement ng SS4wd kasi hubless siya.

According to 4x4wire, "They [SS4wd units] have drive flanges to lock the cv to the wheel, all the time."

Advantages? Wala ata ako maisip. Hehehehe. Because when you're in 2H, the CAD (central axle disconnect) will do the freewheeling duties already. Redundant na lang yung hubs. Main disadvantage is wala ka nang shift-on-the-fly capabilities.

notEworthy27,

Manual hubs gives you full control. You are always SURE when they are locked or unlocked. SS4wd is for the Pajero only. It is a 4wd system that can be used on paved roads and engaged up to speeds of 100 kph.

Ic...so theres a possibility that the hubs might still be locked after shifting to 2H? Whats the system of the strada? could it also be shifted on the fly?
