What type of 4wd does Subaru use?
It uses a symmetrical 4wd design. In my opinion, it is very effective. For example, if your front wheels are on the ice, they power the back wheels and then the Subaru can keep moving. It works the reversed way as well. The only problem is, if all four wheels are on ice, then it doesn't work because even if it powers either front or back wheels, its still on ice, so it can't move.

Why would a 2000 Ford Expedition die intermittently when turning or stopping?
If your expedition is a 4wd have the front CV joints checked. The 4WD models have auto 4WD that sometimes lock into position and don't unlock ~ even when you don't 4WD. This have very negative effects on the front wheels when turning (especially at lower speeds on 4WD high).

What is locking your wheels?
Can you use it in a sentence? This could have multiple meanings. Locking your wheels could mean braking so hard that the wheel stop turning even though the vehicle is still moving. e.g. skidding such as when on ice. "I stepped on the brake and my wheels locked up" Or, if this is a 4WD vehicle, it could mean engaging the front wheels so they are connected to the rest of the drive train. Older 4wd vehicles had manual dials on each front hub that you would turn to either engage - or disengage that wheel to the transmission. When disengaged - that wheel would spin free like on a 2wd vehicle. When engaged, it now receives power from the transmission same as the rear wheels. Engaging a hub in this manner is called "Locking in the hubs" or "Locking in the wheels". BTW - most modern 4WD vehicles have an automatic locking mechanism that performs this task for you when you shift into 4WD. Lastly, I suppose once could say "locking your wheels" is setting the parking brake so that the wheels cannot roll.
