JEMT8 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) So I was driving to work and it was raining very heavily, so I put my jeep into 4wd Part Time just for shits and giggles. I was driving and it felt a little weird but i just figured it might be normal. I pulled in to the parking lot and into a spot and when i turned, the fron end started freaking out and chugging and my wheel was jerking back and forth, it felt like there was resistance on the wheels as if they were getting caught or rubbing on something but I looked and nothing looks broken or seems to be rubbing. I was told it could be the CV joints? Any ideas guys? Thankis in advance. If i left anything out that you need to know, I'll be checking frequently.

It did it for a few feet while going straight too and made some noises. Quote formerly known as Jaylor Swift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared420 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Shouldnt do it going straight but any 4wd Ive ever been in does that when the wheel is cut all the way or just about all the way.

t-money Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) my girlfriends step dad had a jeep liberty that did that. i swapped the transfer case and it stopped. turns out the chain inside was stretched and jumping teeth. after it was out u could turn the front output shaft and hear the chain slapping the case.

JEMT8 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Well i dropped it off at a garage just to be safe. Hopefully it doesnt end up being anything costly. It was really bad when it was happening. i was worried to drive it. Quote formerly known as Jaylor Swift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricM9104 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 CV Joints, driveshaft, wheel bearings, transmission or tcase. Most 4wd's will "cut" across the pavement when it's dry and you're turning... This is also a sure fire fucking way to screw somethign up.

OrionStang Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Well guys, it turned out to be an outer CV joint. There goes half my subwoofer budget. =/. Do it yourself, man. Get yourself a manual, a helper or two, tools and a case of beer. Go to town. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
