why do my front wheels feel like theyre locking up when i turn my steering wheel hard to the right or to the left? almost like the 4x4 is kicking in?if im idiling backwards or forwards while turning, the truck will actually stop when i turn the wheels sharp,theres no grinding or popping and the brakes and axles are new on the front end,is there a vaccum or electric solonoid that could be bad???
