The 4WD axle actuator housing also called axle disconnect housing is part of differential that houses the gears and shift fork required to lock both front axles together. It works together with transfer case to send torque to all four wheels. Most of the time the vehicle is in RWD.When 4WD is engaged transfer case engages the front driveshaft. Its still necessary though to connect two front constant velocity CV axle shafts. This is done via a front differential and the axle actuator.. Due to its location underneath the vehicle the axle actuator housing can be exposed to dirt road salt and other pieces of road debris. These can damage the actuator housing which will make it less effective at protecting the moving parts inside. Then dirt can get inside of the actuator to cause bearing wear or lubricant leakage. Wear can also simply occur over time from use. If you try to shift the vehicle into 4WD at speed the high forces involved might crack the actuator housing..
