Hub Question

Couldn't find the answer on the forum or in the owners manual.

My previous ford was a 79 F150 so the hubs on my 2006 are a little different.

I took a pick of one of my hubs. Currently as the pic looks is the hub set to auto?





Is the yellow line I circled the line I want for auto hubs? It was actually turned to the other line and I think that's where my noise was coming from when doing some tighter turns.
I'm still learning and I'd rather ask those that know instead of just guessing.

Looks like auto to me bud. If you turn it counter clockwise til she don't turn no more, and it's on that line, you've found auto.

Yes, the hub is set to auto in that picture. 1/4 turn clockwise will set it to the other mark, which is LOCK.

If they were on lock, would that effect turning radius at all or give me some binding during turns at say 15-18mph? Haven't had a chance to take it out yet since finding that out they were locked in?

Thank you so much guys.
