I have a 99 Jeep Cherokee and when I put it in 4WD, I get this grinding noise coming from that area. I took it to a transmission shop, and after just "looking at it" they said that I probably have a bad bearing in there.
I took it to another guy who said to remove the front drive line, and if the noise goes away, that was the problem. So I did this and got no noise. So I swapped out the drive line with another used one. And now this one squeaks and makes the grinding noise.
Is it a coincidence that I got 2 drive lines that went bad. Or does it sound like my 4WD is the problem.
On another note, once I'm in 4WD its pretty much stuck there until I stop, put it in reverse, then put it back in drive. Usually when I'm switching back to drive I'm going like 5-10 mph. I even do the little give-it-gas-then-let-go trick.
