93 JGC passenger side front hub ?
 

Hello,

I have a 93 JGC (5 speed manual, commandtrac transfer case).

A winshieldwiper came loose and I had to stop in a ditch. i put the car
in 4wd and got out of the ditch, but I heard a slight 'snap" thought it
was the front wheel (paasenger side) throwing a rock.

When I wa on the road agin, I hear a grinding sound, like your your
grinding gears in an old pickup truck at low rpms.

When I put the JGC in 4wd the grinding sound goes away and it seems that
everything is ok. However it is not in 4wd it seems.

Does that mean that the hub on the passenger side is broken ?
Is that easy to fix ? (are the parts expensive ??)

I know that I might be kinda vague, just trying to find out if it is
relatively easy to fix and if it is worth the troble (it is a 93 with
215k mles)

other then that the car drives ok.

Ron

I would be inspecting the axle out there closely. You could be
describing a snapped u-joint.

Hi Mike,

I would be able to see the u-joint by looking next to the wheel without
having to take "everything" apart and see if the u-joint has snapped ?

This model sports a vacuum motor disconnect for the front passenger side
axle. The motor or the splined sleeve could have been damaged during your
trip through the ditch. The u-joint is visible from the outside.
