Richard: If you really need to drive it and it feels like it is binding to the point where you are afraid of damage then just drop the front drive shaft untill you can figure out what is going on with TOD. I installed hubs a while back so I can tow it 4 down and I leave the hubs in "free" all the time with no problems and zero binding on sharp turns. Its like putting a bag over TODs head or giving Ldub 4 beers...They just don't give a s%$t anymore.
