Worn front drive shaft

does the front drive shaft turn when not in 4wd on a 1998 chevy truck. The front drive shaft is worn where it is splinned together which might be causing vibration.

no the front drive shaft should not rotate when the truck is not in 4 wheel drive. if it is, the front axle is not disengaging. check the acuator the screws into the front axle housing. only takes a min or two to unscrew and check that the plunger is moving back and forth.
