Gawd dat tells evry1 evryting.
Reading between the lines it's a later smurf wit the diff dat locks and dee diff is knacked. it ain't an early 1 wit either manual or auto hubs.

The two back wheels and the steering wheel. Was that not obvious!

meybe op means 3wd is only one front hub engaged (not both)! sounds like simply diff wind-up buggering up steering!

auto hubs have been changed to manual hubs hence 3wd and only gets used offroad just so you know

Still makes no sense. Are you only locking one of the front hubs!

Any body been under the bonnet playing with vac lines!

Why do you lock only one hub! One front hub locked is effectively 2WD, because of the differential, unless you have a limited slip or locker on the front.

locking 1 wheel because it wont turn corners if both are locked, vac lines unchanged

Fault in the front diff causing it to bind.

Something very wrong here - I'm beaten.

Dose it favour one side! ie free wheel L/hand lock R/hand no issue but opposite causes the issue also! if so could be a CV joint issue

Broken C.V joint

Very unlikely to stop the steering wheel from turning
virgo77,
Apr 22, 8:17am
both cv joints are fine
gadgit3,
Apr 22, 8:21am
Then if the CV's are fine and no one has moved the vac lines on the powersteering pump. moving into 4wd with hubs locked shouldn't restrict the steering wheel to half a turn.

You'd be surprised

if i jack it up off the ground it will turn fine in 4wd
tnt423,
Apr 22, 8:28am
Can you force it to turn more!
virgo77,
Apr 22, 8:29am
if i get angry with it

so what happens when you try turning! eg steering wheel wont rotate or vehicle will move forward but feel tight and skid in the process
