If your buying one. Get on pavement. I always check both high and low. Put in high and turn sharp. If it wants to bind and jump the front is pulling. (don't gas on it hard while doing this). Then do the same thing in 4-low.

x2. You'll KNOW when this happens. Do it in a parking lot or somewhere flat.
