93 XLT
ok i have a 93 xlt and i was playing in just a little mud in front of my house i live on a culvasac and i threw it in 4x4 low just for kicks and i come to find out that when using a sharp turn my truck like bounces liek the wheels arent getting enough traction to take a sharp turn in 4x4 low? i take it out of 4x4 low and i can take sharp turns whats up do i need an aligment and oh ya the truck shakes over 65 on the highway is it tiem for an alignment?

Exactly what it is supposed to do.

NEVER drive your truck in 4wd on dry pavement.
 






like robb said your 4 low is working properly. jerking is common when making turns in 4 low it is bad for the components as well.
 






Bad to run 4lo on pavement, in mud it is ok if the wheels can slip easliy.
 






4lo on anything but a slippery surface is a bad idea.
it feels all jerky because the front wheels are turning at a diff rate then the back, on dry pavement you can end up with what we call driveline wind-up.
