Mudmaster: 2wd hubs NOT locked in = no problem steering.  2wd/4wd hubs locked = immediately will not turn left

I think it's a steering geometry issue where it doesn't have enough leverage to turn left when the tires are not allowed to turn at different speeds.  Even sitting still the welded differential will make it harder to turn the wheels.

I have a Detroit rear and and an Aussie front and I really only have driveline windup issues when turning left.
