'91 XLT
Why does my 91XLT not want to back up smoothly (normally) in 4 wheel drive? U-joints? This happened even backing in a straight line. It feels like the old 4 wheel drive systems did (IH Scouts) when trying to turn sharp.
Works ok in 2WD.
 






especially on pavement it will not be able to differentiate between the wheels so it starts to clunk and compensate. try it in forward on pavement, same thing. 4x4 is not pavement friendly!!!!!
 






Welcome..Do you use it in 4x4 much? 4 wheel drive components are just like everything else, you have to use them regularly and maintain them..Try driving it off road for a little while, slowly..Let everything get losened back up..Your problem will either go away or get worse..
