What's the oil level/condition in the gearbox like? This may have some effect on the resistance in the 4wd lever. Just a thought since you said you've had the car for a long time...

About to try fitting 14s to it :) so will see if that fixes up the binding problem or not. if the binding problem you talk about is with the different tyre sizes then having 4 of the same size will slow the binding (depending on surface type, corners in one direction etc). When in 4wd that locks th...

All the above examples are from binding in the 4wd system. The shuddering you felt through the car when the lever finally dis-engaged 4wd was the stress in the system being released. Best way to try and ease this is turn in one direction sharp and try to dis-engage 4wd, if it doesn't happen and you ...

Multi-quote madness... Quick Question - what does everybody mean by 'binding' either in 4wd or out? Great effort on the mulit quote madness, well done. The 'binding' you expereince when 4wding (only happens in 4wd) is from the front and rear wheels being "locked" together so there is no difference ...

Once you try HID you will never go back. They make any previous attempt at high performance lighting look like a childish prank. Even big lights like Rally 4000 or Lightforce 240 Blitz running 160 watts can't even come close. It's almost like they were invented for Subies. A small, low current draw...

Early EJ's (i think) up to 96-98 are 4 bolt jobs. Since then they're 8 bolt. Word has it an 8 bolt gear box will mount to a 4 bolt EJ, just don't use the other 4 bolts...

Someone else will beable to further clarify, this is just what i've heard.

Hey all, Maybe we should organise a group trip with a bunch of non-believers that subis are capable 4wds. We may have to take things slower or change how we approach things but i think thats all a part of 4wding. It also helps the environment to a certain degree - taking it easy can reduce erosion e...

AlpineRaven,

Have a look here. There's a good description of what to do in here, there's a little bit of flab you'll have to carve through to get to what you want.

Hope its of some use.

Cheers
