My 90 3.0 runner wants to buck and squirm only on snow covered pavement when its in 4wheel. Put it back in two wheel its fine. Off road its fine even in 2 inches of snow. On dry roads the alignment doesn't seem to bad tracks fairly straight. Just wondering if I might have a hub going out or a caliper or what's up let me know. Thanks

Put it up on jack stands and wiggle the tire/wheel with it attached to the suspension. If there is a lot of play then you're going to need a new bearing.

I see you're in NE PA. If you would like some help, let me know i'm also in NE PA.

Thanks I didn't think of that. Have to check it out tomorrow. Help would be cool but I'm outside of wilkes barre about an hour north. And the shop where I work on my toys is north of bloomsburg 45min from me.

Nice, not too far from me!

If you have gone off road in glen Lyon you could have pulled out of the trails into my yard. If you up ever let me know

No crazy play in either wheel. Drove it slow in 4 in an unplowed parking lot the steering wheel wants to jerk left. Feels like something is binding up??

What sort of hubs do you have? If ADD this is irrelevant, but maybe one hub is not locked/locking?

How's your tire pressure?

I don't think wheel bearing play would be this noticeable at low speed, but if you really want to check you must grab the tire at 12 and 6 o'clock and try to wiggle it. Grab it any other place and you will be feeling the suspension linkage.

Maybe you busted a spider gear.

A hard jerk sounds like something broke, a birfield probably.

I'm in Wilkes-Barre, just sayin. Is the truck up here? Or down there?

Xxxtreme its out in glen Lyon. In my yard I drove it to work in that little bit of snow last night and noticed it

itsbroke

They are manual hubs. 35 psi all around

It also sounds like you could have different front and rear end ratios. Just something to consider.

xxxtreme22r

Confirmed. I didn't see this reply, but having drove it around a building, it was my first feeling. I could hear rear tire trying to break free and spinning faster then the front.

The knucklehead who had the truck before hand put a v6 4.10 in the rear. Truck has the factory 4.56 front end. Manual hub converted ADD BTW. ADD shaft "locked" with manual hubs.

We talked about this already, what you need is the rear from a V6 (4 ribbed case not 3 ribbed) from a truck or 4runner with the gear code 252 or 254.
