Thanks Ranger and BEX!!! I just bought those bolts from EBAY. What a deal. $20.95 total! Soon as I get the bolts I can install the New Aisin Manual Hubs. Just last Saturday I installed the Steering shock dampener from LowRange. Wow, what a difference in driving. It is much sturdier up front and steering is firmer, nice! Now waiting for those bolts....
It depends on your location, some do have cone washers. I have parted out 16 or 17 of these vehicles and it seems like a surprise in everyone. My son has installed the manuals with out the washers with no problems...

I see what you are saying...some probably are different. I have to go back to what ranger said:
"You can, but I wouldn't. You may get noise and probably premature wear. I would continue to use the autos until you locate the cone washers."
In my case Ranger is right. I took one bolt out and there is now way I would run Aisin Manual hubs with my bolts from the auto hubs. They do not even fit snug within the hole...i see major problems down the road if I was to use the AUTO bolts with the AISIN MANUAL Hubs..

Must be a canada thing. Every trackick I have seen in the US that has had auto hubs hasn't had cone washers. The auto hub holes aren't tapered, so cone washers wouldn't even fit right...if at all.
BTW, I have owned about 60 trackicks over the years and seen many, many more. Not really any surprises, after that many.
I broke my sidekick frame this week too much canadian snow plowing action. So today i got my self a nice 1999 2dr soft top 4wd M/T Vitara but most importantly , no rust !! anyway is has Auto lockings hub and i allready dislike them ! Can i take my stock sidekick ( 98 ) manual locking hubs ( which by the way if anyone is interested have NO cone washers ) and just bolt them in my vitara ( 99 ) and be on my way ?? yes right? they are the model which have the big washer to compress the locking spring not the 4 pins socket type. What brand are the original oem hubs on my kick ? What are the difference between vitara and sidekick i looked all over but did not find many awnsers , any link would be great since i want to swap parts ¸ like my control arms , struts trany diffs etc Sorry for so many question , just very excited about my new purchase !!!
