When you say the wheels lock up you mean like breaks locking up or like it won't turn sharply.

If it's the second case it might somehow be locked in 4wd? I found out today that you have to make wider turns in 4wd due to the way the front and rear drive shafts lock together. Front wheels spin at the same speed rather than one wheel going faster in turns.

I didn't know anything about driving in 4wd and now I know its not a good idea to drive on dry pavement lol.
