binding hubs

[wayne553]

97 4.0 5sp auto locking.....new u-joints 2,new spindle bearings tight turn l or r it binds that rear tire will spin.I feel the hubs are junk, right joint and spindle bearing used to ratchet the hub.If I plowed stright ahead I would'nt need to turn.
Gonna keep auto hubs,other than that..let me know your thoughts

thanks
got to be done by snow acts like spiders are junk BUT no noise

not to be a dick, but can you put that in to a little better english.....

not understand what you mean by...."tight turn l or r it binds that rear tire will spin"

when I turn all the way left or right it ACTS like they lock up and wont turn,THEN the rear will spin.left turn right will spin,right turn then the left spins.any better??dont make sense to me,u put new parts in and it dont help

That sounds normal to me.

4wd will bind in tight turns. That's why you don't engage it on dry pavement. Something has to give or things break.
