Default lock out hubs

I have a 1982 f150 with lock out hubs when turned to lock 4 wheel works fine at low speeds, when I get on main road each side front seems to kick out until I lower speed anyone have suggestions.
Thanks

Why in gods name are you driving on roads in 4 wheel drive? Yeah it's gonna kick and buck and BREAK ****! You can't drive on pavement when in 4x4 I can't stress this enough. Your wheels when you turn turn at different speeds. The outside wheel turns faster and the inside turns slower. When in 4 wheel drive it tries to turn them at the same speed, Hence the bucking and "kicking out" you WILL break stuff if you keep doing that.

AGAIN DO NOT DRIVE ON PAVEMENT WET OR DRY IN 4X4!!!!! 2WHEEL DRIVE ONLY!

Keep your hubs unlocked!
