Front diff. no longer differentiating??
I have a 83' 4x4 Ranger and I noticed from the last snow storm that when I turn sharp, without the transfer case engaged in 4H but hubs locked, the front end would buck and bind really bad. So yesterday I played with the front axle a bit, raised up the front end and noticed if I grab the front drive shaft with the hubs locked both front wheels will turn the same direction. I know thats not good the diff is completely stock. So to verify I ran over to the Brono and did the same test except one turned the opposite like I remembered it was supposed to. I went back to the Ranger with one wheel to the ground and spun the other one by hand. It turned, but took a lot of force on my end.
Any ideas what is broke in the diff? I see some auto places sell seal and bearing kits but nothing for the internals.
How expensive are parts to replace broken gears/pin if thats what it is?
THANX
