1995 4x4

Maybe i`m dumb,what is causing the front end to make a binding feel when backing up and wheel is turned? usually right front.....normal for 4x4 or is it the tire size or axle bindup?.....tires are 31x10.50x15 on alum.rims. and front end is squatting (weak springs)?

It's gonna do that if you turn the wheels hard and have the front hubs engaged.

Check the front U-joints, also might be rubbing so pull wheels and look to see if anything shows signs of contact.

It might just be rubbing, with TIB/TTB when you go in reverse the front squats and will point out any clearance problems. Check your radius arms, that's where they usually rub first. You will have a shiny vertical stripe where the tire is rubbing.
