92' Loyale Wagon Stuck in 4WD

Featured Replies

Hi, I picked this rig up a few months ago and just figured out its "stuck" in 4wd. I pushed the button to disengage the 4wd only to be left with a motionless vehicle. If it's not in 4wd it doesn't move. I was hoping that it wasn't as serious as needing a whole new transmission but I've tired everything I could find on these old forums. I've tired going to the mechanism that activates the 4wd and that's actually about it. If theres anything, please help me! Thank you for your time!

 

Could be a shot CV joint up front or a worn out front hub spline, allowing the cv shaft to spin in the hub. 

Or a front shaft may be removed for some reason with the hub held together with the remains of the outer joint with the stub axle piece. 

Cheers 

Bennie

It's not stuck in 4WD.  It's lost it's default front wheel drive.   Check the axles and hubs, to see if one is spinning without moving the wheel.  Must be checked in 2WD mode, not 4WD.

I was not aware that these vehicle were front wheel drive if not in 4WD. I'll make sure to check that out.
