4x4 problems

In Full Time drive in the tightest circle you can drive in a parking lot, it will feel normal, in Part Time do the same and you'll feel the steering wheel buck a little bit.
With Full Time you can drive on dry pavement and not mess anything up, in Part Time you can only use it on slippery loose surfaces or you'll have some driveline stuff break on you.
Just remember FUll Time you can use whenever you feel like, Part Time you can only use part of the time.
Hope this helps

My understanding is that all NP242 transfer cases (regardless of year) were not vacuum-disconnect. This holds true on both my 2000 and a friend's '89.
One thing about the 242: it does not like unequal tyre pressures. Check them at all corners; the hopping effect you're seeing can be caused in part by this. Also change out the transfer case fluid (Dexron III/Mercron, NOT regular ATF or gear oil), which may help somewhat; it certainly did for me.
Oh, and worn ball joints / front end bushings can also contribute.

Go to the JEEP website and watch the video animation about 4x4 systems. The Liberty and the Cherokee have the exact same 4x4 system and control levers.
