A couple 4wd questions.

How come as soon as a it engages my car turns to the left extremely hard? Do I just need an alignment? Also, when I press the button to turn it off it wont go back in 2wd until I hit like 15-20mph and it makes that terrible explosion under my feet. Why?

Have you got all identical tires? If even one of your rear tires is too big or too small it will cause what you are describing.

As has been mentioned it probably is tires,and it not just the same size tires either they all have to be from the same manufacturer a 185/70 13 from dunlop will be different than a 185/70 13 from goodyear

 

also when disconnecting try blipping the throttle

And dont use it on dry paved roads. That delay and bang is the driveline wound up due to missmatched tires. google torque bind for a good explination. DOnt search it here, as you will get lots of automtaic new gen hits.

Alright, well it all makes sense then, I best get some matching tires, before I think about pressing that button again. Thanks guys.

If your on loose stuff (snow, gravel, offroad trails, etc) it's fine, there is enough slip for it all..

Yeah the tire's are the most part of it!! Hey BTW on a 4WD Loyale and if it's just in FF will the vehicle pull a little to the right?? Is that normul?

 

All tire's match and tire psi is all the same..

For one... Don't use 4wd on pavement unless snow or ice is involved.

 

Loyale... It is not normal for a car to pull to either direction while driving. you should get your alignment checked asap.
