I have a 2011 Nissan Frontier SL.
About 2-3 years ago I changed the front and rear differential fluid and transfer case fluid. About a year or two ago I noticed if I turn a tight corner in 4WD the car moves very slow and clunky. Going straight in drive or in reverse I've had no issues.
I changed the front and rear diff fluid and the transfer case fluid yesterday, and noticed that now if I take a tight corner in 4WD the vehicle will not move at all, even in drive and with gas applied.
I have no issues with a tight turn in 2WD, and in 4WD moving straight or slight turns in Drive or Reverse do not cause issues. I can change in and out of 4WD with no issues.
The only issue is tight turns(turn the wheel completely 1 way) the truck will lock up and cannot move.
Any ideas what is wrong?
Thank you!
What makes this problem better or worse?
4WD tight turns are worst, 2WD is fine, 4WD straight is fine
How long has your 2011 Nissan Frontier had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2011 Nissan Frontier. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
First rule is 'never' use 4x4 on dry pavement or high traction surfaces! ... Make sure ALL tires are the exact same size .. I'm assuming the correct - approved - lubricants were used for refill.
Highly recommend having qualified personnel test drive vehicle.
