What causes the front hubs on a 89 jeep wrangler to lock in?

There is a shift fork that is engaged using vacuum from the motor. The shift fork is located inside the front axle more towards the passenger side. When you engage four wheel drive it lets the vacuum go down to a motor that moves the fork to lock the hubs


Why doesnt my 4 wheel drive work in my 2000 Kia sportage?

Although you have a manual shift on the transfer case the hubs lock in on vacuum. Chances are you have bad vacuum lines going to the hubs (about $150+ at a Kia dealer or $40 at your local service station). If not the lines, it will be the seals in the hubs.

Which direction do you turn hubs to lock hubs on a 2000 ford f250?

For 1998 Nissan Pathfiner should front hubs turn without moving drive shafts when 4 wd disengaged Should wheel spin without moving driveshaft when up on jack stand?

NO. Engaging four wheel drive only engages the transfer case. Older four wheel drives had to have the hubs locked manually, by turning a dial on the hub itself. Newer vehicles no longer require the hubs to be manually locked.
