Jumping when I’m in 4L

My 4Runner is jumping pretty hard when I’m in 4L and when I turn the wheel sharply in 4H. Do I need to get it checked or just use the 4WD more.

 

Read your manual.

4HI is for slippery conditions and 4LO is for off-road use only.

 

Welcome from Wisconsin! We haven't "jumped" our 4Runner yet! Just kidding.. Like Thatbassguy said.

 

Lol are you on dry pavement in 4wd??

 

No. Snow.

 

The jumping your expieriencing is your CV joints slightly binding as you turn the wheel, the sharper you turn, the more they bind as you move the vehicle. This is not uncommon. If you hold a CV joint/axle in your hands and rotate the assembly while angling one end or the other, you could see 1st hand what's going on, providing there is no boots on the ends.

 

Absolutely RTFM !!!!
It will save you thousands.
And don't drive fast in 4L and no 4L or 4H in non slippery conditions.

 

I could only give you 1 "like" on this post, or you would have got 2-3!

 

So, what your saying is...don't drive around on wet roads in 4L at 50mph with the diff locked? Lol.

 

IDK, it might be fun until something breaks.
