4x4 problem
I searched for this problem but couldnt find nething. My dad has 94 bronco with auto locking hubs and shift on the fly. We just had a snow storm and the thing was handling wierd in 4x4 so i got out and watched him tool around in the snow. The driver side front wheel is not spinning when 4x4 is engaged. It seems as though it tries to once in a while but then dies. The passenger side is fine. Also, when he is gettin on it, that particular wheel starts clunkin and hoppin around. Sounds like the wheel is gonna fly off. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the driver side hub is not fully engaging. Is the driver side wheel cluckin and hopping or passager side? If you are mechanically inclined and know what you are doing take apart the driver's side hub clean it throughly regrease it and reinstall it. you might want to do that to the passager side also. If that does not fix the problem you can replace the auto hubs with manual hubs from warn or milemarker. If you are not mechanically incline take it to your mechanic and let him repair it.
