When i switch my 2wd to Tod on my Vx definitly notice the steering feels more harder and more precise.
For the Tod bypassed all the hubs do is stop the power actualy going to the wheels but your transfer case and cvjoints are still turning just the power doesnt hit the wheels cause your in the hub disengaged mode aka 4x2.
Chuck it into 4x4 on the hubs and go for a run im sure youl notice the difference
