I have the same problem in the UK. Everything is over twice the price it is in the States. I'd love to go there... firstly because I've always wanted to, and secondly to go parts shopping :-)

They have manual hub kits, but they are uber expensive.

good news guys,gt my light switch all fixed but still trying to figure out my turning problem.checked my front axle universal joints and they don't seem to be binding so my next thing is to check my drive shaft universal joints and all steering components.

i've now got another problem on my hands,on the last bit of braking and this only tends to happen when at a low speed and applying the brakes slowly my brakes tend to lock up and jolt

Did you ever figure out the "rolling" issue? Sounds very similar to what mine is doing. When turning slowly like into a parking spot the front tires feel like they are no longer perfectly round (like if you had a rubber model car tire in your hand and put a finger on 4 points, one top one bottom, one left, one right and pushed inward from opposite sides to distort its shape) it makes that rolling/wobbly/ oval tire (no longer round) feeling.

Trying to explain how it feels as best I can when making those slow turns, sounds like my issue is very similar to yours, just hard to explain what it is doing.
