Wombat,
To help sort out your problem, try this.
Lock the front hubs, engage 4wd and jackup the front of the ute so that both front wheels are off the ground.
Try turning one wheel clockwise, the other should turn anti clockwise.
If this does not happen there are 2 possibilities
1. Someone has fitted a diff lock of some sort to your front axle and it is still engaged
or
2. Your front diff is not working properly, (read "Buggered"). They should be used for a few k's each month to spread oil throughout the diff.
Any part time 4wd will, as
Ross has indicated, be a bit harder to manouver in 4wd on hard surfaces.
Continued use on hard surfaces can seriously overload shafts and bearings in the transmission with a potential for failure.
Hope this helps
Disco.
