Why does my truck turn hard in 4 wheel drive?
4 Wheel Drive Locks Up When Turning This phenomenon is caused by the front wheels battling the rotational force coming from the front drive shaft as it tries to slow down the front wheels, causing the massive under-steer effect. You should avoid engaging 4WD on a high traction surface at all costs.

How does four wheel drive ( 4WD ) work?
When 4WD is engaged, the transfer case splits the torque 50/50 between the front and rear drive shafts. The front drive shaft spins at the same speed as the rear drive shaft, transferring torque to the front differential. The front differential then transfers that power to the front wheels by way of the axle shafts.
How does a 4WD chain work on a car?
When 4WD is engaged, the gears mesh together causing a chain to move a gear that’s connected to the front drive shaft. The front drive shaft starts spinning at the same speed as the rear drive shaft and delivers torque to the front differential, which then transmits torque to the front wheels.

Where are the locking hubs on a 4 wheel drive truck?
Locking Hubs. Each wheel in a car is bolted to a hub. Part-time four-wheel-drive trucks usually have locking hubs on the front wheels. When four-wheel drive is not engaged, the locking hubs are used to disconnect the front wheels from the front differential, half-shafts (the shafts that connect the differential to the hub) and driveshaft.
