Hello, my 1995 Nissan Pathfinder 5-speed whilst in 4X4 H and in a sharp turn will bind up. Any suggestions?

Question:
It is possible to drive but ultimately will brake the car to a complete stop if no peddle is applied. Thank you.

This is normal for any 4X4 with a centre differential lock.

how many MPG does the 1991 Honda Accord get?


The reason is that during a turn a couple things happen.

is a toyota highlander v6 4wd considerd a luxury or expensive suv?


a) the inside wheel always travels less distance than the outside wheel.

what is a mass sensor on a peugeot 106?


b) the front wheels will travel a greater distance than the rear wheels.

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee..driver side door panel controls?


So with a diff in the locked position power is usually split 50/50 front/rear. The front wheels can no longer travel at a different speed to the rear.

whats da difference between CNG AND LPG?


This is essential for any real 4X4 it prevents all power from the vehicle being dumped to the wheel with the least traction (now 50% must go forward and 50% rear). Coupled with either an LSD on the rear or dual difflocks front and rear and the 4X4 ability is greatly improved off road.

Can a more powerful engine like a crate engine be installed in a 2001 Explorer sport trac?


(note it is not recommended to travel with the diff in locked positions on surfaced roads or other surfaces that supply good grip as mechanical damage could occur)

Does anyone know of a company who does ecm repair?


This also happens on RWD cars fitted with LSD. In the wet it can be noticed if hard acceleration is placed in a turn generally a wheel will lose traction causing the LSD to engage and forcing both wheels to drive at the same speed in turn causing the rear wheels to lose traction and move out side ways form the car (over steer).

What is wrong with my Brakes on a 1999 Dodge avenger?

If I'm reading this right...that is normal...believe it or not....when you put the vehicle in a tight turn in 4 wheel drive they tend to do that due to the front tires as well as the rear helping to pull the vehicle.

How much does a 1979 Dodge Powerwagon sell for in pretty darn good condition 318, 4x4, std cab, automatic,swb?

When in 4x drive your turning radius is longer because the front differential is engaged.You will always have to allow a wider turn when in 4x4

What's your opinion on a 1994 Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 Ext. Cab Stepside?

It sounds like to me that something is wrong with your brakes. Check the brake caliper, maybe the piston is stuck and this will make your pathfinder stop(as in any vehicle) once you let the gas pedal go

will a 97 escort or higher bodykit fit on a 94 escort?

I had the same problem with my All Wheel Drive Subaru. The only difference is that my car was light enough that it would spin around like a top in the rain or snow.

Why do Ford and GM trucks have 4x4 on them?

i had a 1995 Kingcab xev6 4x4 and it did the same exact thing, as did my dads, (i had the manual tranny, he had the auto).

I'm looking into buying a 2000 Kia Sportage, just wondering about the pros and cons of it. it has 105,000 mi


HOW EVER there is no center locking differential.
the transfer case in these trucks are a 2 speed gear driven design, not like an AWD transfer case.

Where do I get my Civic Hybrid Tax Credit Letter?


ALSO, for the " Nissan Master Technician", you could never, repeat never, have a different gear ratio in one differential then the other, if you did, the front tires would spin at a different speed then the rear and basically grenade the transfer case.
in order to use a different gear ratio, you would have to run a different size tire then the rear, and we both know that isnt the case, that is unless you own/drive a mud rail that will run a 40" tire in the front and a 44" tire in the rear.

whats the difference between the Ford F150, F250 and the F350 truck series?


if you also read that same manual you are talking about, you will see that it also recommends replacing ALL 4 TIRES AT THE SAME TIME due to a smaller/worn tire causing a different gear ratio then another axle.

Where are Ford pickup diesel engines produced.?


get a clue on how things actually work before making a post.
just because you are a "master technician" doesnt equate to much, anyone can remove and replace parts or hook it to the DRB or StarScan to have it tell them what is wrong.
