Hey guys I have a 1995 Toyota hilux ifs . The other day I went to try a small off-road trail over here in Guam. After locking my hubs and engaging 4-low I noticed my steering was really harsh. Example i could not take a sharp turn as the other rigs could I'd have to back up turn back up turn just to make a simple turn . Sometimes trying to make a hard right or left would feel like it's stuck. I also hear clanking noises when I get it to turn but goes away when I'm driving straight. I'm not sure if my problem is that the previous owner installed a locker up front which I need to check but I thought I'd get your guys opinion as well. Note I have power steering and 2wd turning is a breeze .

Chances are our is the style of locker that is installed in the front, as far as any noises or clanking, that could be a chipped ring gear or maybe just the locker engaging, and disengaging. You might try and leave one hub unlocked and turn the vehicle and see if it is still tight steering or if it is easier to turn, that will let you know if it is the locker or not
