Hub Help
I've got an 89 4Runner with a solid axle from an unknown year; the PO put it on. The 4WD works great, but when I have the manual hubs engaged, it has a really difficult time turning. When I disengage the hubs, the truck turns just fine. Anyone have an idea?

The front differential could have a locker in it. Jack up the front end so both tires are off the ground. Spin one side: if the other side goes in opposite direction, front diff is open; if it goes in the same direction, its locked.

He said when he has the hubs engaged, didnt say anything about being in 4wd.
but yes, if he is in 4wd on dry pavement or high traction surface, this is normal. If only the hubs are engaged, then something else.
