    So I was browsing local you pulls looking for manual hubs and to do this I was looking for something telling me which aftermarket or stock parts would fit VX. In doing this I also stumbled on what I think is the problem with the popping front end. All this time I was confused because I believed the CV axles were the problem. The only gap in that logic was that the popping is not only in turn but full time and more so when dropped into 4L. To me this is the CV axle sliding into the hub as explained in this excellent article which my brain really needed to read. Is this theory correct? Is finding the ASINS or SUPERWINCH manual hubs the solution, along with replacing, most likely, the CV axles ground off splines?

    It's possible but I would still bet on CVs. When my CVs went bad, they made noise all the time and it was worse in 4low.

    You can check the hubs very easily. Pull the hub & inspect the splines in the hub and on the half shaft.

    Your CVs will explode long before the splines on the end of the shaft give out.
