I have 95 4x4 with manual locking hubs when I put it in 4wd the truck started pulling hard to the right. I tried unlocking and locking the hubs again but it continued to pull. Once I took the truck out of 4wd the truck stopped pulling but it did seem to hesitate some. When I unlocked the hubs and drove the truck was perfect no pulling? I dropped the truck off this morning to get looked at does anyone have any idea what it could be and was the cost I am looking at? Thanks, Pat >> Stay informed about: 95 F150 4X4 pulling

Are you sure both hubs were locked? Were you on dry pavement when you shifted to 4wd?

Yes I was in my garage when I locked the hubs and then put it in 4wd to drive in the snow.

If you were driving in the snow and both hubs were in the locked position (did you visually check?), if one side gets more traction than the other, it will pull to that side.

Yes I checked they were both in the locked position. It even pulls when it is on a smooth dry surface. Could it be that the left hub isn't locking therefore making it pull to the right?

Possibly, though if one hub is unlocked, the differential would absorb the torque difference, unless you have a limited slip or locking diff. With the hubs locked, try rotating the axle U joint in the steering knuckle... if you can rotate it when the hub is in the locked position, you need a new hub lock.

Pulling problem on 1998 E-250 van. - Over a period of time a very strong pull developed in the front end when applying the brakes. The van pulls left only slightly when the brakes are cool to warm. As the brakes heat up from heavy use, the pull gets much worse. It will totally change lanes....

Front hub on 2002 F150 4x4 - I was told that my 2002 F150 off-road Fx4 has plastic parts somewhere in the front hubs and that they are prone to trouble. If this is true is there anything I can do to prolong the life of these parts? Are replacment parts still plastic or metal? ..

Shocks for 99 F150 XLT SC SB - The truck has 140,000 kms (87K miles) on it and original shocks. I drive mostly in the city but take a few trips out of town on forestry roads carrying a very small camper. It's probably about 600lbs load with all the gear not including two adults..

new style F150? - Hey all, I'm looking into different trucks I can commute to work in. Buddy of mine has an 05 reg cab 2wd 5.4 SWB and says he gets 20 mpg. I think he's bullshitting. I need something that gets roughly that mileage though. Does the V6 F150 get that..
