Safari manual hubs, unlocking by them self when off roading

[sg8380]

hey i have a nissan safari 1988 y60 and it has manual hubs on it. I was offroading and when i was going up a hill i heard a metal on metal grinding/clicking sound and i get out to see what it is and the hubs have turned halfway in between lock and free, any ideas why this is doing that and how to stop it?

maybe over lubed take them off clean the inside try again otherwise could have warn bits in side

when i did the axle seal i put grease in behind the switch where it goes in and out, should i clean it out?
