My 4x4 has me baffled.... It drives and tracks down the road straight, but when it's got the 4x engaged it pulls to the right. After disengaging the 4x it will continue to pull to the right until you back up a few feet. It has the factory auto/manual lock hubs and my assumption is that the backing up disengages the auto lock of the hub. The truck will drive straight with the hubs manually locked.... until you engage 4x, then it will pull right again until you disengage 4x and again back up.
The 4x seems to function normally in all aspects except for this pulling issue.
I've been through my share of 4x4 front axles from hub to hub and I can't really think of what would cause this. My only fear is that maybe the axle bearing in the r/h spindle is chewed and creating drag, but to create enough drag to make the truck pull, it would about have to be welded.
The truck is a 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty which has a solid front axle. Any clues from the 4x front end experts out there?
