4x4 front axles
So I've been hearing a growl/howl that seems to be coming from the front end of my '96 4x4 and is slowly getting worse. I've assumed that at 150K+ miles, its one or both front hubs starting to go.
I was doing the front brake pads and rotors this weekend and noticed that (with the truck in 2WD) as I turn the passenger side front hub, there is a fair amount of drag and the axle shaft turns with it. Is this supposed to happen? I always thought the hubs would freewheel until told to lock. --Tim

Re: 4x4 front axles
Axel shafts are part of the axel hub. The shafts turn all the time. 4X4 engagement occurs at the pumpkin. I have detail 4X4 PDF file if you want them. I also have scanned 4X4 files electronic and manual engagement systems. Scans are from a 96 factory manual. PM your email and I'll send you the files.
