Front Wheel Skip

Is it normal for the front tires to skip or jerk in a low speed full lock turn. I have experienced this many times in a 4WD with the front end locked in. I don't understand why a 2WD would do this. Any input? Thanks.

I wouldn't think it would be normal. I have experienced it as you have in 4wd, but switch to 2wd and it goes away.

I would take it to a good alignment shop. They will check it over before they align it, and something is wrong they should tell you. The best way to do it is tell them the complaint you have, and see if they can get rid of it.

Sounds like your toe is out of adjustment. Like Dave said, take it to an alignment shop and have it checked.
