I have a question for you techs or even 4wd veterans.. Ive noticed whenever I have the front hubs locked that ive been getting a vibration in the steering wheel... It feels kinda like an unbalanced steer tire.. but I dont think thats what it is. Mainly because It's smooth as glass when the hubs arent locked.
My Question is since this is my first 4wd truck.. is this normal for when the hubs are locked? Or is it a sign somethings wrong with them.. When i got the truck they were very stiff to turn the selector.. I pulled them apart to rebuild, regrease as I had been told thats what they needed because they were hard to turn.. Which did fix that problem... but ive felt that vibration even before doing that... and seems to be getting worse.. Im not 100% certain its in the hubs or if i need to look somewhere else..
