Is this suppose to happen

[FrostRacing]

I was in the process of selling my car today and I'm not sure if the 4x4 was working correctly. When going in a staight line it felt normal but when I tried to turn around it felt like I was running over a rock or something. Is this normal? I have heard that the turning radius is cut down but I wasn't sure. It probably cost me the sale.

Thanks

From what you are saying, it sounds sort of like a possible frozen U-joint to me.

It is normal if you did shift it to 4x4 high or low then turned on a dry surface. Sounds bad, huh?..And a way to get some thumb/hand damage if it jerks violently while your thumb is wrapped around a strg wheel near the horn button(s) area.

If you were not in any 4x4 mode, then your auto hubs may be damaged or lack **** (which is an occurence; they do not need much **** btw).

or, as seabronc advised.

I tried it again on a dirt road and it worked perfectly. I was trying to make to sharp of a turn. When the front wheels are being driven they can't be turned as sharply. I wasn't use to this because I had an 89 Range Rover that was all time 4X4 and still had a really good turning radius. I think they have have a better set up for transfering power to the front wheels.

That's good. You are right about full time 4x4, it is set up differently than part time.

some all wheel drive trucks have a planatery gear set to allow the front axle to turn at a slower/faster rate than the rear axle usally followed up by some clutches in them to act like a limited slip diff /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
