98 suburban LT 4x4 when 4 hi button is pushed the 4wd system will engage. After it engages it seems like the power goes from the drivers side front wheel to the passenger side, audible growl and the steering wheel pulls back and forth.

Ok, this is probably going to sound greek if you have no automotive experiance, so here goes:

There are 2 possibilities I can think of at the moment depending on your 4wd system, however there are several things that can cause this

If you have a Push button 4wd (you push a button or turn a knob) the system engages using actuators or sylinoids meening you turn the 4wd on, the switch sends power to the selector option (high and low) and the 4wd light on the dash. the selector determines where the actuator/silenoid engages (either high or low) in the transfer case. However the actuator or silenoid can be faulty and yet the system will say 4wd is on because the switches still sending power to the 4x4 light

The next setup is the manual linkage set up, and given the year of your kia I doubt you have this setup However I am going to go through it anyway.

With a maual linkage setup you engage the trasfer case maualy using the 4wd shifter. Ironically on newer manual shift 4wd systems the dash light is still triggered electrically by location of the shifter not what is going on in the transfer case (Ah a flaw in the design) So if you linkage is loose/bent/damaged or somehow disconnected your 4wd wont engage but the light will still show that it is! Hope this helps

Found this repair link on fixya, it's great I just bought a manual. Try it :- Best Manuals

check the solenoid on the front chunk these vehicles have had a lot of problems with these solenoids. have personally replaced about 10 of these on 98-02 models.

your doing it right but your accuater is bad 59.00 auto zone easy install

check vaccum actuator located on passenger fender under hood or under battery tray

Hi...
I own a 98 blazer. There's a module that has failed in the 4WD part of the truck . I had to have mine replaced at about 70,000 miles

depending on the year of vehicle and application [push button or floor lever] there are a variety of switches used to actuate the front diff motor.There is one on the transfer case that is engaged when the floor lever is moved into place this sends power to the front diff motor.
