Hey all! I've got a 1998 with about 70K on it. Over the past few weeks it's been getting progressivly harder to steer right or left into spaces like a parking spaces while 4 Hi or Low is on. Specifically, when I turn right or left at low speed, it's like the someone stepped on the brakes and it takes a low of effort to get it moving...is this normal or a sign that something is about shot? This is my first 4 wheel and I love it but not much experience!

 

Here's a good thread that sums up what it seems like you're experiencing.

dont drive on bare ground while in 4 wheel drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY TURNING or one day it will go BOOM clunk, and you'll have a 2wd

 

sounds like your 4wd is perfect then...

turning in 4 lo into a parking spot... should i even ask where you are going?

for the sake of your vehicle and wallet look into how to use your 4wd. not an insult. seriously look into it!
