02 ford f250 superduty 4wd v10 getting a vibration periodically in motion. i can switch to 4wd hi and then back to 2wd and vibration goes away for awhile. hubs are unlocked. when hubs are locked, don't have the vibration. looking for a diagram of the front axle assembly to correct the problem myself. i feel it is the axles bearings or front driveshaft.

SOURCE: 4wd to 2wd

Ok i'm no expert but if you're trying to get the front axles out you will need to take the hubs apart and it should all disconnect somewhere around the cv's. If you take your time and think about what you're doing it won't be that hard a job.

Alternativly the simple solution is to leave the front end complete and only remove the front propshaft. By doing this and just leaving the hubs disengaged none of the front end will turn and you will have 2wd. This option also means that if you come accross a cheap transfer case later on down the track you won't have to worry about putting the front end back together.

Hope thats some help to you. - Neil

to take a 4x4 out to 2x4 when you put it back to 2x4 you have to drive the car in revase for a couple of yards so the transfer can release the front differancial good luck
