Tough steering in 4wd, Brute Force
#1
My friend and I both complained about how hard it was to steer in 4wd at the last derby. I had tough steering on my old Praire 650 with outlaws. The reason for that was because I had to tighten my dif lock cable to get the two front tires to both spin in the mud with the locker engaged.
I looked at my diff lock cable and found it was so tight it was half engaged all the time. I loosened it till the cable was not letting the diff lock mechanism on the diff to lower anymore. Then I tightened it up just a tad. Now the diff lock lever is so loose and easy to pull but more importantly the steering in 4wd is alot easier. I will see how my front diff works this weekend with it this loose. When I pull the lever the diff lock mechanism still pulls all the way up, so I hope its all good.
Expect some water video, same place as I took my Praire 650. I hope everything works good, also going to redo my snorkle, it has problems in the current location. Going to get video of that too.

I noticed my cable was tight as well. Kawi did not give much room for slack. I pulled my front diff to clean it out after my wreck and when I put it back on, I realized that there is no much slack to go around. Although the cable gets a little tight when I turn the wheels to the extreme right or left, the locker does not engage until I pull the trigger.
