Hey guys. First post here so bear with me.
I just bought a 78' Bronco, and the 4x4 doesn't seem to work. It worked when I bought it. I put it in 4x4 a week or two after I purchased it and when I did it lurched forward and clunked really loud several times and then after a little bit it stopped and it drove fine. So, this week it snowed and I went to put it in 4x4 and it didn't lurch or clunk, so I assumed it was fine but then I started fish tailing around so I figured I wasn't in 4x4.
I wanted to make sure that my hubs locked correctly so I jacked up the left side of the truck and locked both hubs and spun the wheel and the axle moved but not the drive shaft. I unlocked it and spun the wheel and the axle didn't move and neither did the drive shaft. I made sure the hub on the right side worked and it did.
The transfer case is good. I could see both spin when it was put in 4high.
Is my Front differential bad or is there another possible problem?
Please help!
