The passanger side front wheel keeps locking up. But when the wheels are off the ground it doesnt seem to lock up. Do you know what it may be and how to fix it. Thank you

I goofed I didn't look at the 4wd and yes it probably is something with diff. Probably a bearing bad. And no you can't pull the shaft out and drive like that you wold have to pull both of them out and drain the diff.
