testing 4wd action
first find real problem then replace bad parts, guessing will be very costly.
the hubs can be bad ,either side. or both
can be locked and not unlock and be open and not clocked when you want it.
as cody said, why risk life at 60-70mph ?
when all it takes is a simple checks.
plus:
if you here them click as you drive remove them they are dangerous when in that state.
those the balance off the car. !!! take off the lockers and drive with out them.
it is 7.5K mile inspection point the no one ever does..... sigh.
4wd is cool but requires extra maintenance.
one can after testing the hubs.
then rotate the front wheels locked with tranny (xfr) in neutral.
and try to feel for loseness in the CV's , popping , clicking, etc.
one can use 2 hands.
one on left side of cv other hand on other side, then work hands against each other (car jacked up)
and see the play in the CV.
tiny, ok, little to lot bad. ( try on new car to see diff)
IFS can last a long time on PART time cars. ( its disconnected most of the time)
but with lift kits , no.
