Auto hub problem??...Need help...thanks

I have a 96 Bronco XLT and when i slow down and get to about 10mph there is a few big clunks until i stop and then when i start up again there are a few more clunks. When it's in 4wd it doesnt clunk at all like this. Is it an auto hub problem?? Can the cold weather be causing this? Its about 5 above zero here. Thanks everyone

If it only does it when it is cold out the auto hubs might be frozen into the locked possition. on my '85 that has auto hubs it sometimes clunks because one hub unlocked but the other stayed locked. That might be your problem and try backing up twice as far if that is how you unlock your hubs.

Hope this helps!
