Sounds like your auto hubs are shot:(
 






Yup time to convert to manual hubs
 






no
 






no double posts rookie:D j/k
 






How much would it cost to buy and install mannual hubs on a 94 explorer. is this an easy job?? could i do it myself?
 






You can find them on ebay for 100 bucks or so (sometimes less). Your gonna need the manual hubs, hub conversion kit, and then spindle nut socket.

Basically it is pretty simple. Take off the wheel, and the old, auto hub. Use the spindle nut socket to remove the first nut and then install the new one. Might as well pack your bearings and such while your in there. Then put the manual hub on and there ya go. Now what youd have to do is lock your hubs before you engage.

(PS, if I missed anything let me know, I believe that is it for converting)
