Something binding slow speed 4wd

Mar 08, 2006 3 Replies

When I put my 2000 JGC V-8 into full time 4WD, it works fine. But when I go back to 2WD and I am cornering tight at slow speed, it's like someone put the brakes on. Never noticed this until a Jeep dealer did a complete brake job last summer. They replaced rotors and drums and pads. Could something be binding down there. If I drive it straight for awhile, it goes away.


I would be checking wheel bearings out I think.

I am not that knowledgeable, but here's a laymans guess. Possibly your

4wd is not disengaging and driving a bit more may cause it to finally disengage. Possible?

Sounds about right. Wife would complain about the same thing. You need to be moving when shifting and even get on the power a little after the shift for it to disengage fully. Read this right in the owner's manual.
