TROGDOR! Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Tire size and wear. If the tires are mismatched it can lock in 4WD. It's really bad for the car to drive it like that. If it comes out of 4WD on gravel/snow/wet grass then you've found your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N8NQU Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 i was told from the owner that when he puts in 2WD the car wont go forward or backwards, that's why he put it in 4WD and it drives.(he also told me that he canot hear so that's why i was wonderind if the front CV shaft gave up the gost) thanks trogdor,and thanks for the link skip, and i always enjoy reading about subarus.73.....W3RTT de/Bill N8NQU:wave: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrat Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I've gotten 2 like that. 78 Brat had a blown out CV joint, and a coupe where the hub splines were totally chewed up, and the axle just spun inside the hub... (shavings inside the hubcap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
