not sure if this has been posted before, but i just found it on youtube and find it very interesting. just thought i'd share it with you guys. kinda disappointed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-7wnhcYvSs

yea but cv boots not torn or anything. so..... what what else is there to look at on the cv?

oh. i will check it out tomorow. how much is too much or too little?

hmmmm...... so if what you guys are saying is true, then something else is up. can it be the cv axles? or how else can i check? cause like i've been saying, only whn the hubs are locked, and even when im offroad and on like dry dirt, my steering acts the same as on concrete. sigh................

sigh................................... i gues i dont kno what im talking about. could it be something else then?

yea but i didnt even go into 4hi/lo. how was i suppose to know that locking hubs in 2wd will react the same as 4wd?

had a buddy come over yesterday, who is more familiar with 4wheeling. told him whats going on. we locked the hubs, i got in the truck and turned the wheels. while he stood in front of truck looking under to see the axles and what not. it does the same thing. so then we unlocked the hubs and turned the wheels all the way to the left side, and then locked then hubs. i then steered it to the right side, and there was a click and i was only able to make half of the right turn. and we have concluded that because the truck is lifted the cv axles are stretched downwards, and the joint moves to make turns is limited. after that we took it offroading (gravel, dirt, and mud), to see if it reacts the same. it seems that i only need it to slip in order to make full turns. and had a blast. lol. in conclusion: to have full control (steering) of locking hubs works best when wheels can slip such as being in heavy rain, snow, mud, gravel, etc....... thanks for all the inputs, i really appreciate you guys trying to help. again, im still a noob, so wwhat i wrote might not make sense. lol. when i have time i will take some pics and post what i mean so you guys can see what im talking about. THANKS ALL!!!!

maybe my locking hubs are broken? still cant figure it out. today i took my pathy thru some mud puddles, had the 4wd on. and it seems that i cant make left turns at all. right turn was very limited, couldnt make a full right turn its like half a right turn. is it soemthing else? and whn i tried only 2wd with the hubs locked same thing happend. still waiting til this wknd. i work sat. so sun whn i go home i will see if i can find anything wrong.

hmmm. i give that a try whn i get back at my parents place. im currently going to college away from home and have no tools nor place to do it. hopefully this wknd. thanks for the response.

im new to this. just bought a 95 pathfinder se. it seems to have the 3inch calmini lift kit on. warn locking hubs. its got atock lsd in the rear end and dont know what it has in the front. when i put it in 4wd hi/lo or just locking the hubs the steerong just suc. cant turn/ steer its so hard/ stiff. how can find out what it is i have n front? thanks.
