- 1993 Explorer XLT
Hey there, so i have a 93 Explorer XLT thats having some problems with the 4x4. It has the push button 4x4 with automatic locking hubs, and when i hit the button the 4x4 does engage but there is a very noticable problem. When engaged it drives straight no problem but when you turn the steering wheel its very hard to turn, and when you make any considerable turn the front wheels seem to stick or lock up and it causes alot of jerking from the front end. Also, when you hit the button again to disengage the 4x4 it has trouble going back into rwd, the front hubs stay locked and still jerk the front end when you turn, it takes ALOT of pushing the button on and off to disengage the front hubs. If you can think of any reason why this is happening and a possible fix that would be great.
Note, steering, and braking all feel fine in rwd, the jerking and sticking of the wheels only happens when ou engage the 4x4.
Thanks.
