Auto Hubs

I beleive my 95's auto hubs are acting up. If its cold out, every time I start driving I hear a grinding noise and then a clunk that I can feel on the front left wheel.Is there somthing I can do or should i just get manual hubs?

Is there a kit for manuals or do you just buy the hubs themselves?

thanks

It could be the lockout but a lot of things under there could make the sounds you describe, you really need to look and see what is making the noise.

I'm pretty sure its the hub, its almost like its locking or unlocking by itself.

From what I understand manuals are the way to go.
