what are the driving condition in which you are using 4x4? Are you talking 4hi, or 4 lo?

 

It would actually be better if it was, I'd go through fewer front end parts. (I should buy stock in Moog.....)

 

I live in a snowy climate. I use the 4HI to drive around town when its snowy icy. Some spot around town have more snow/ice than others. When i go from snow to plowed roads is when it doesnt want to turn. Iv driven my other 4x4s in this manner with no issues.

 

I just can't think of a situation where you'd need 4x4 on a routine basis on a paved road?

 

Take one quasi-paved road, mix in upstate NY winters, and stir.

Quasi-paved as in they repair it with cold patch, which yields a road full of potholes, broken pavement and washouts.

4WD is almost a requirement in winter, and there are two extremely sharp corners which the 4WD system bitches about every time I take them.

If it were a dirt/gravel road, there's be no problems, but with the half assed paving it's a nightmare at times.

 

Makes sense.

 

That is just 4x4 in action. This will always happen unless you are on a slippery surface. When you turn the wheel the turning radius is different for each tire, if you are in 4x4 both tires are trying to turn at the same speed, This just cannot happen, 1 tire has to slip for this "binding" feeling to disappear.
