So many a few years ago I cranked my torsion bars and did an add-a-leaf. I also have an issue in 4x4 where when I turn I feel like something is binding. I just replaced the CV axles as both were torn, and the problem still persists.

I'm guessing it comes from too much lift and is the axles? (I'll put it on a lift and verify next week) If so, only solution is to lower it back down a bit? I also read lowering the diff helps for Toyota guys?


I'm curious of the binding you are feeling when turning is the one all GEN'1 have because the transfer case locks the front and rear diffs together?

With the center locked:

When you go around a corner the front wheels take a shorter path. Since GEN's lack a center diff, the tires have to slip to account for the difference in distance traveled (front wheels to back wheels). It also puts a fair amount of load on the drive train and on pavement it will feel pretty herky jerky / bound up.

Curious if thats what you were feeling.
