04 explorer 4x4 binding

[drivinman1]

I purchased my xlt about a year ago. Had no problems, then everything seemed to go at once. Brakes, exhaust leak, misfires. and most recently some binding when trying to turn the vehicle. I thought it might be related to the 4x4 because it started with the 4x4 hi light flashing on the dash. Never thought to count them. I have read many post concerning this issue and checked all the fuses checked the battery,this just came out of nowhere when I was trying to deal with the misfire. Need to fix this or my wife is literally out of business. I am not a mechanic and I can't afford one but I'm not afraid to learn. If anyone can help or needs more info to help let me know.Thanks

is your service engine light on? if it is then go to any parts store (advance, oreillys, autozone) and have them scan for codes. Post the codes here.

I can no longer move the xlt. As soon as I turn the steering wheel in either direction the tires bind up and do not want to rotate
