94 Mu,
engages into 4wd but pulls hard to the right when accelerating and as soon as you lay off the accelerator it pulls hard to the left. loud wering sound is heard. and then you disengage 4wd and go and unlock the hubs and the problem persists until you crack the S#!%s and thrash the living daylights out of it.
i thought this may be because the previous owner may never have locked the hubs so they may not have been lubricated much, so i drove around for the past 2 months with my hubs locked(but in 2wd mode). and i tested it out the other night and the problem is still there.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

With the hubs unlocked try turning the cvs by hand Tconfirm which side is faulty. Then remove the complete hub assemby and open the inner cv joint on that side and try and turn again. This should prove if its a hub,cv, or diff

Ouch... go easy now on those hubs :-)
If hubs of any type are not disenguaging easyly and cleanly harder is not the answer, go easy on them. The problem is tourque or load not alowwing them to disenguage. Remove the load or tourque. Best way is to back up under power (tourque in oppostie direction) and then coast for a bit (no tourque). A meter or two is all you need, repeat if necessary.
However sounds like you hubs need to be stripped down and regreased to free em up a bit. To confirm the problem jack up on wheel and while spinning the wheel by hand look behind to see the CV shaft not spinning, enguage the hub and see the CV start to spin, release again and the CV shaft stops again.
Try this both sides but it seems your RH hub is not engaging. Looking the hubs for two months while driving around won't help as when engaged they is no moving parts... you need engage/ dis-engage cycles to free em up... but clean and re-grease is better.
Cheers :-)

Clean and re-grease good place to start. Also a good idea to slowly reverse a couple of meters to help them un stick after engaging them.
Pay to check front diff oil level etc too

Thanks for all your advice guys, i will try that this week end. i have a feeling that it may be diff as i tried it again at very early Saturday morning and found in 4wd hight i was pushing it to get to get to 50kph and as soon as you do that it's a real fight trying to keep it in a straight line as it darts left and right.. yeah lots of fun  Thanks again  |

;D !!!!Sucsess!!!!! ;D
The long awaited answer is here, after examining everything and finding nothing.. i sat on the ground almost about to cry with frustration as the blue beast was still having problems when finally i noticed something... The FOOL(to put it politely) who previously owned my vehicle had put different size tyres on the front to the back.. The rear tyres were a full inch and a half shorter that the front!!! so i bought a brand new set and Bob's your fathers brother the beast is not finally crawling on all fours like she was born to ;D
