Default Bearings or not?
I have a 2000 and when i turn sharp it feels like it is in 4wd in the front, is it ujoints or wheel bearings?

Honestly it could be either of the two. You are going to have to check the u-joint for play, then jack up the wheel and see if there is any play in the hub.

Sounds like joints, but double check.
