Switching from 4wd to 2wd

[shycat]

Hi, I am new here...I just recently bought a 2002 Xterra 4x4. Being new to the 4x4 scene as well. I just tried out a little bit of off-roading with the 4x4 engaged (I have auto locking hubs)...but, I didn't back up 7-10 feet when I put it back on 2wd. Is there a way for me to tell if I have disengaged the driveline from the wheels? Because I have backed up the care more than 10 feet in my driveway after I got back...would that take care of disengaging the driveline? Thanks in advance for your help.

Please post your question just once.

Not much of a way to tell if the hubs have unlocked. There's a faint click, and the steering effort changes slightly. It's really nothing to be concerned about though, driving with the hubs locked won't hurt anything.

Thanks! Appreciate your getting back to me.

And I apologize for the two postings...wasn't sure if the first one would be read since it was an add on to an old message. Sorry about that!
