I learned this when by encoder motor seized on me and left my 4wd locked on inevitably causing horrible binding on turns.

Does it hurt to run 97 subaru in fwd all the time instead of awd?

No, it doesn't hurt, but why do it? If you have disabled the AWD, it won't be there when you need it, and disabling it does not affect things like gas mileage. The only time I would disable AWD would be if the car was being towed.

Do you need the front cv shafts in your 94 olds bravada?

Yes, the front CV shafts are necessary for the 1994 Oldsmobile Bravada if it has all-wheel drive (AWD). They are essential for transferring power from the transmission to the front wheels, enabling proper operation of the AWD system. Without functioning CV shafts, the vehicle may experience reduced traction and handling issues. If you're experiencing problems with the front axles, it's advisable to inspect or replace them.

How do you disable the AWD on a 2000 Subaru Outback?

To disable the all-wheel drive (AWD) on a 2000 Subaru Outback, you can use the center differential lock feature if your model is equipped with it. This can usually be done by pulling a lever or pressing a button on the dashboard, depending on your specific model. However, keep in mind that most Subaru Outbacks are designed for constant AWD, and disabling it may not be recommended as it can affect vehicle handling and safety. Always consult your owner's manual for specific instructions and warnings related to your vehicle.
