Sounds like its still in 4wd. Or something is sticking. Jack up the front and check out everything for bends or binding.

Can you spin the front driveshaft?

Mine does that too. When i turn i have to fight it back to center sometimes and then it wants to turn the other way. I think my tie rods are worn though. And its random, and my front drive shaft turns freely.

Hope you get it figured out, maybe mine is the same.

I have seen warn front u-joints do that.

Maybe make sure they turn fine when the wheel is turned.

yes, be sure that everything is disengaged--I was gonna say one or both hubs were sticking and still engaged. Youve confirmed that the axle(s) and drive shaft is not spinning. If one axle side is sticking/engaged, you definitely know it.

she said it made 3 loud clunks and it would grab every time. hmmmmm. wonder if its tierods

Check your tire pressure. I think that was Danny's problem when he truck did this. LOL

Unit bearing could be starting to wobble. Especially if locking hub is torn up. Spindle bearings could have been destroyed by stuck axle shaft and main bearing will follow shortly.

And, I don't agree that "you will know if one side is stuck". Most don't know until truck is brought in for auto 4x4 trouble.

If the front drive shaft spins freely you need to jack up the front of the truck and check everything out. Tie rods can cause it to wander but not pull.

im guessing it destroyed it.the bearing the shaft sits in on the passenger side. when i spin the shaft it moves a lot and will actually lock the hub in with no lock outs.

Makes sure the u joints arent froze up also, had a truck doing the same thing the u joints were still tight but just rusted in place and wouldnt let the wheel return to center or anything like it should.
