Greetings all
Apologies in advance as I am sure this has been covered before but despite searching cannot find definitive answer
I would appreciate clarification on the possibility of fitting manual free wheeling hubs on my 1998 Vx Monterey 3.1 sotf.
I spoke to milner regarding the ones they supply as to the number of splines, 17 in my case but the operator didn't know and no one else was available
So my learned friends, can it be done. In case you're wondering I am trying to temporarily bypass a slight issue I may have in the front axle (uneven resistance and slight binding felt at low speed) and might even improve the mpg until such time as I can have a proper look
Many thanks in anticipation

Any manual hub for any Isuzu 1987-2002 and all Vauxhall Brava, Frontera's and Monterey's will have 17 outer splines and will fit each other.

I personally wouldn't recommend the Milners hub. They are known to break easily. For the same if not cheaper price I would but a set of AVM 433's from eblag. Much better hub, and far stronger.
