Wondering if anyone can tell me what kind of damage I've done to my 1999 Jackaroo (manual l, 3.5L petrol V6).
I sleep in the back, and this morning as I climbed back into the driver's
seat I must have bumped the 4wd selector into 4H.
It was a
bright day, with the sun on the dash, and I didn't see the dash light - not sure if it was on to be honest. I
check the lights often. I noticed the vehicle pulling to the right under acceleration. I pulled over, got out and checked the tyres thinking I had a flat, and when they were all fine I checked the right front
suspension and could see nothing amiss.
Pulled away again and it had gotten worse. Then I wondered whether I might have bumped it into 4wd, and found I had. The hubs were not locked. I had driven at around 100km per hour for 150km. Anyone know what I might have done to my car?
