Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / December 200595 F150 4X4 pulling
I have 95 4x4 with manual locking hubs when I put it in 4wd the truck started pulling hard to the right. I tried unlocking and locking the hubs again but it continued to pull. Once I took the truck out of 4wd the truck stopped pulling but it did seem to hesitate some. When I unlocked the hubs and drove the truck was perfect no pulling? I dropped the truck off this morning to get looked at does anyone have any idea what it could be and was the cost I am looking at? Thanks, Pat Can anyone help? Are you sure both hubs were locked? Were you on dry pavement when you shifted to 4wd? >I have 95 4x4 with manual locking hubs when I put it in 4wd the truck > started pulling hard to the right.

Could it be that the left hub isn't locking therefore making it pull to the right? > If you were driving in the snow and both hubs were in the locked position > (did you visually check?), if one side gets more traction than the other, it [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >> > Thanks, > >> > Pat Possibly, though if one hub is unlocked, the differential would absorb the torque difference, unless you have a limited slip or locking diff. With the hubs locked, try rotating the axle U joint in the steering knuckle... if you can rotate it when the hub is in the locked position, you need a new hub lock. > Yes I checked they were both in the locked position.
