Default 4wd

my 4wd was working fine until suddenly now, its only 2wd and the back wheels dont turn at all. the joint cup closest to the back wheels looks like its about to come off so its not able to turn the back wheels.

put it back on and tighten the grub screw in it and you should be fine.

Yeah, mine did that too, twice. I had to get a new joint because it went flying. Does anyone know the part number of the grub screws? I heard that you can get a bag of like 20.

its a thread locker, so you could say its like glue, use the blue one not the red because the red is permanent and would be very hard to remove if you need to.

[8D] but tightening those grub screws as ehroof states should resolve your issue.

they are in the universal/drive cup, you will see a small indentation with a hex headed grub screw in it.

one side of the shaft is round the other is flat, make sure that the grub screw is on the flat part of the shaft before you tighten it.
