I have a stock 2005 CRD with 210,000 miles. When I make sharp turns at low speed I feel quite a bit of resistance and cannot turn as sharply as I desire. It does not happen with gradual turns, like at intersections. I checked the ball joints and they look fine and pass the wiggle test. What should I check next? |

Take out of full time 4wd. |

I truly wish that was the case, but you understand the symptom. It's not in full time, but the steering feels like it is. |

I've also heard that going in reverse for about 50' can help disengage it too. |
