weird wobble when manual hubs engaged

when i engage my front hubs , (manual), and drive without putting in 4 wheel drive , it feels like it has a bent wheel , so when i get out and unlock the hubs, and drive again it feels normal.....so i did it again and it felt like the wheels were bent, and so i engaged into 4 wheel high and it still felt like a bent wheel. Before i open anything up and look, can anyone tell me what might be the problem ? i have a 1993 STX 4x4 4.0L and need some guidance Please..

Sounds like one of the CV joints in one of your front axles is binding,

Try engaging just one hub, then try just the other one to see if you can figure out which side.
