Steering/suspension issues only 1500 miles in.

I searched to see if other have had this issue but did not see anything. Just under 1500 miles and turning left or right today produces an odd feeling in the steering wheel. Almost like the wheels are turning in thick sand. Definitely not right.

Standard reply to your experience -> is it in 4L/4H, maybe 4A? Feel like it's binding?

Mine has felt that way the past two days. 2 wheel high. It has been pretty cold, so maybe that is a contributing factor? Mine is a non-SAS Black Diamond 2.7L 4 door

tough to describe.....not "binding", more like the wheels are trying to push through thick sand with a bit of vibration and almost a spin. make sense?

Is your parking break been activated? Is it in 4H/4L/4A? Just saying, you never know with some these days!

I turned the vehicle off and on and turned all the lock diff switches on and off. the second time did the trick. maybe some sort of electrical gremlin?

Thanks but it is solved. I saw another person had the same issue and suggested turning car off and restarting. The first time it did not solve the issue, but the second time it did. Has not happened since!
