It's much more noticeable if the front diff is any kind of locker or limited slip. Check the universal joints too, though. If there's any rust around the seals, they are on their way out and should be replaced. If they come apart on their own, typically you will need new axle shafts too.

When I first got my F350 with Dana 60 front axle I thought the same thing.... that something was wrong with it. Couldn't make a turn in 4WD. They definitely have an aggressive limit to the amount of slip in those axles. (At least in my example, and apparently yours too). My 81 F250 with TTB will bind and jump a little, but only on very hard surface at full turn. The Dana 60 is an awesome axle, and the 4x4 capabilities continue to amaze me, even after I think I've seen it all. The binding is a bit annoying if you are driving on alternating soft then hard surfaces and needing to make tight turns, but the benefits are tremendous. Way more jumping than most 4x4 trucks, but way less slipping and digging yourself into a mud and snow rut when it really counts

yea the 50 ttb would jump a little at lock, this just jumps a little more. i was just makeing sure i dont have a problem. i love the dana 60 though. its a tough axle. only thing i dont care for is pullin the carrier out of it and shimming the carrier. its a pita to do
