Default 00' front hubs?

Here's my problem when I turn the wheel left or right as I come back to center the steering wheel lunges like it's in 4 wheel drive any ideas where to start?

Check the axle ujoints and check for a seperated tire.

The tires are new, I also checked the ujoints on the front axles,also tried to move the tire side to side no movement. Is the front driveline suppose to turn all the time because of no manual locking hubs?

The front drive shaft will always turn when the vehicle is in motion. Does it do what you're decribing on all turns, or only sharp turns?
