4WD ans steering issues was created by lewis991
Hi all,
I went to a pay and play day today and when in 4wd low on full right hand down lock I was hearing a clicking noise from the drivers side, this got progressively worse as the day went on and has led to me losing 4wd completely. The 4wd light on the dash is now flashing.
Also the steering was jaming at points when stationery, this was fixed but taking it out of 4wd and drifng forwards. I managed to get home in 2wd with no problems, but I re engaged 4wd to see if I could hear the vacum on my driveway and now I am having trouble getting the steering on full legt lock, I can get full right hand lock. The power steering is still functioning as normal....
What are peoples thoughts? I am hoping its a hub issue but knowing my luck its a diff and drive shaft issue.

Sounds like a CV joint to me.

Sounds good to me, well much better that axle issues, would the CV joint cause the 4wd to fail?
