Front hub trouble...

Ok so after getting a leveling kit installed i noticed something.. Making left hand turns were not a problem, nice and sharp.. right hand, not so much. i almost hit a car because it need so much room to make a turn. went camping, went in to town sounded like something was off balance, thats when i noticed that the whole front end minus the drivers side was still engaged, ended up dropping the front drive line in the parking lot... any ideas?

???

Whats the issue?

The outer shafts always spin, the hubs do not 'unlock' like most typical 4wd front ends. Dodges use a central axle disconnect (CAD) which disengages the passenger side inner shaft from the outer shaft, which keeps the carrier from spinning the driveshaft when your in 2wd.

the CAD's tend to be troublesome units

Diagnosing 4WD Engagement Problems on Dodge Ram pickups


Also, if its making a racket, its time to rebuild the front driveshaft. Typically the centering ball in the double cardan joint wears out and causes all kinds of vibration and noise
