91 Explorer 5speedStarted having 4wd problems. popping sound from hubs. suspected hubs were failing. Went to local JY and bought a used set of auto hubs.. Put them on and took it for a drive. when I engage 4wd I hear the same popping sound. I turned sharper than I should have and heard a very loud pop. put it back into 2wd and heard and strange noise sounding like from drivers front almost as if my axle was still turning. got it back home and raise entire vehicle off ground and out it into 4hi and 1st gear. I heard a clicking/grinding sound like a baseball card in bicycle spokes from passenger front and continuous popping from drivers front. I swapped all the hubs around and still same result.
How do the hubs actually operate? by vacuum? could I have a vacuum problem thats not engaging 4wd entirely
Could I have two sets of bad hubs? anyway to test them?
