I have a 2000Xj with a 231 T-case. I am experiencing a mild jerking in 2WD in slow speed turns in both right and left directions when I trunt he wheel past 3 and 9 o'clock. It feels a lot like the pull you get from turning sharply in part time 4WD on dry pavement but not as severe and my issues is happening in 2WD. I have a 3" lift (2" Old Man Emu plus 1" Spacer Front and 1" JKS Shackle Rear). I have an SYE installed and adjustable front control arms. I haven't noticed this until recently. I have tried shifting in and out of 4WD thinking maybe 4WD wasn't disengaging. When shifting into 4WD I usually shift my transmission into neutral while rolling 30-40 mph or less then shift between 2 and 4 wheel drive. But I am not sure if it is better to do the shifting the T-case while the transmission is in drive?
Anyway I am guessing from reading some threads my list of possible issues are as follows:
- T-Case not disengaging from 4WD
- Bad front axle U-joints
- Low ATF in T-case
- Driveshaft bind from incorrect pinion angle (Wouldn't think this likely since it started well after installing lift and adj. control arms)
- Poorly lubed driveshaft knuckles and steering linkage
- Loose caliper bolts causing brakes to grab (read this in a different thread, seems like a long shot)
What should I check first and what is most likely the problem? Any experience or ideas?
I appreciate any assistance anyone can offer.
Thanks!
