The four wheel drive on my 1998 Kia Sportage isn't working. It shows it is
in 4x4 but it isn't. Any ideas?

make sure the front hubs are operating. have your mechanic run it on a
lift. might be in bad need of lubrication.

the vacuum seals in the front drive hubs need to be replaced. common
problem if you haven't used the 4wd in a while. they dry up and the shaft
spline won't engage. you didn't say what year your sportage is. in the
98-99, they replace the hubs with a manual one that you have to get out
and turn by hand like a switch. In the 2000 and on the seal kit runs about
$40 and a couple hours labor.

your problem. highlight the entire paragraph and paste in your browser.
