Problem with 4 wheel drive

[alanfish27]

When i put my Surf into 4wheel drive it will drive ok until i turn the steering wheel onto full lock. What happens is it seem to lose drive then it comes back in a stop-start type of way. Its difficult to explain, so i hope you get my drift. i also noticed it does it driving in a straight line in low ratio 4x4.
Please help. Need to go fishing soon!!!!!

You could have a broken CV joint on the front drive shafts. Or the ADD system could not be enguaging properly.

When you are using 4wd is it while your off road(wet mud etc)or are you using it on hard surfaces(tarmac).

Thats why, you shouldn't use it 4wd on tarmac or any hard surface other wise you will end doing big damage like buggering cv's drive shafts etc.Only use 4wd on surfaces where you are loosing grip ie;snow,sloppy mud etc there are a few threads on the site regarding use of 4wd its worth while reading it,it can save you hassle and money in the long run!
