4x4 major problem

I put my truck in 4x4 today and when i went it started tracking real hard to the right and jerking the wheel, but only in 4x4 it did it in 4x4 and 4x4 low. Got a 95 to if that helps
Any ideas?

Thanks

you dont have cv shafts!! take apart each side, pull out the shafts and take a look at em and all the other parts like joints and bearings and splines
