    You didn't accidentally leave it in 4LO when this happened did you?

    Mine "crabs" around corners too. It was way worse when I was rolling with street tires, but now with my A/Ts its minimal...

    I need to get my tires rotated.

    Now see, if you had picked a rim/tire combo that stuck out 6" from the fenders (like mine), the crabbing wouldn't be a problem.

    At low speeds the front tires don't have any power going to them (TOD doesn't kick in until you gain speed) - thus when you make sharp turns they aren't powered which causes the CV joints to click or pop. This is normal. If you had your VX in 4WLo you wouldn't heard the sound cause the VX would have 50/50 power to front and back.

    Right, if he was in 4LO, he wouldn't get clicks or pops. He would get chirping and leave rubber behind (at least until the TX exploded).
