Re: Issue with passenger side wheel wobbling in 4x4

That's a very common occurence with the front axle locked in on dry pavement or any normal-traction surface. The front wheels by their nature do not track equally on turns and the front end of the vehicle actually travels farther (more rotations) than the rear.

Search for "axle wind-up" and you may find a more detailed explanation. There is probably a section addressing this in the vehicle owners manual. Continued use like this can cause wear or damage to the CV joints, axles, transfer case, and front differential.
