manual hubs

hey guys ive got another question for you
my friend has a 84 bronco with manual locking hubs when he trys to lock the hub it feels as though it just spins (its tight but doesnt stop) when you get under the truck you can see the front axle rotating but not the wheel what can cause this
thanks guys

manual hubs

Most likely the hub internals are broken or the hub was not put together correctly. I would think the latter one, if it spins okay without catching. Especially if it spins without popping into place towards you.
