Hey guys, I feel like my dana 30 is locked up, road noise is terrible. I am not locked in four wheel. I am just curious how the hubs or shafts lock on my 93 dana30?
I know on my 86 it was vacum actuated but I can't seem to figure it out on the 93's. Any help
Thanks in advance

there is no locking of hubs on our jeeps. vacuum was deleted in 92.
you probably have a seized u-joint or even worse, seized pinion bearing or spiders.

Hub assemblies spin all the time even in 2x4 as well as the rest of the u joints and pinion bearings. Start by checking

Hub Assemblies
Shaft u joints
Front drive shaft u joints.

If you don't fine and issue there then you can check in the chunk.
