Clunking after using 4x4
Good evening. I have a 97 F-150. I was pulling out of my driveway (it's quite steep) in 4x4, turned onto the road and heard a clunk.
I then took it out of 4x4 and continued on. I noticed it was vibrating more than usual. I turned out of a friends driveway (not in 4x4) after that and thought I heard another clunk. The vibrations seemed to get a lot worse after that.
I'm a first time poster. Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Did you back up at any time after you had switched out of 4wd? some times that helps to fully disengage things.
presume that you do not use 4wd very often...it need to be engaged every so often to keep things working.
I'd check the U-joints on both drive shafts...oil level in the tranny and the T-case.
do you have snow and ice build up on your rims?
