end it can drop down onto the inside of the spindle or housing;
since the dierenal is of a tracon-adding design the axle sha
will keep right on spinning. This rubbing may cause heat build-up
that could eventually lead to damage.
Front Wheel Drive. In some emergency situaons it be-
comes necessary to drive a 4x4 vehicle in front-wheel drive only.
If the vehicle has a tracon-adding dierenal in the front, steer-
ing in a turn will become dicult because the inside wheel will
connually try to straighten out. The vehicle can also be operated
as a 4x1; however, steering becomes even more dicult because
accelerang tends to turn the steering wheel in one direcon, and
decelerang tends to turn it in the other direcon. Even by hold-
ing the steering wheel ghtly, the vehicle sll will steer from side
to side by itself because of play in the drag link, e rod and steering
box. Therefore, be extremely careful if you must drive with only
one front axle. Also, if one front axle should break when operat-
ing in front-end-only two-wheel drive, the steering would be ad-
versely aected as described above under “Breaking”. Again,
remember to hold the steering wheel ghtly when driving in dif-
cult situaons. Also, driving the vehicle on ice in front-wheel
drive is not recommended.
CAUTION: Vehicle control will be aected by a broken
axle sha and further damage can occur. Replace it as soon as
possible!
Driving Informaon Summarized
Operaon. Your vehicle essenally will operate nor-
mally in 2WD on- or o-road. A momentary slight sideways mo-
on at the rear may occur when geng on or o the throle.
Front axle. If you have a LOCK-RIGHT in the front axle,
steering in 2WD will not be aected, even with the front hubs
engaged (also see the next secon).
Hard-surfaced roads. Do not drive on hard-sur-
faced roads in 4WD because Driveline wind-up oc-
curs even more rapidly with a locking dierenal
