When I turn the wheel initially while driving the steering wheel gives a slight jerk/ slip. Is this normal. I was told it is because of the wheel lock because of the bigger tires

 

Are you in 4HI, or 4HI-lock? Never use 4HI-lock on pavement. You shouldn't get any jerk/slip while driving in 4HI.

 

Step #1. get in your vehicle and read the manual!

Step #2. look at the center stack above the radio and make sure your H3 has a light in the farthest left 4x4 control button (4HI Unlocked circled in green).

Step #3. If not, press the farthest left button to disengage 4HI lock!
The farthest left button is for daily use on NON-wet/NON-Snowy/Non-Muddy/Non-icy roads etc!
If you do NOT have the button that is circled and FLASHING RED then you do not have an Adventure/OffRoad package.


Step #4. If it is in 4HI unlocked (farthest button to the left circled in green) then you need to contact a mechanic because you have a 4x4 controller issue or internal shift fork issue.

Hope this helps!

Thank you, I will double check to make sure I am in 4 HI
