97 Jeep w/Noise when put in 4 wheel drive
I have found a great deal on a 97 Jeep....the owner claims that when
you put it in 4 wheel drive it makes some noise and that they think it may be the transfer case. Any ideas what this could be and what the cost would be? Thanks in advance. Jeeprs |

That's about the best you can do with the info provided. It could be an operator error (don't use 4wd on hard surfaces or it will bind), a simple adjustment to the shift linkage, a bad U-joint, a trashed trasfer case, a bad front diff, or several other common maladies. A rebuilt transfer case, rebuilt front diff, and 4 new U-joints including labor might run a couple grand. Offer two grand less than the going market rate and you should be in good shape. Personally, I'd try driving it and see what the 'noise' is and where it is coming from, post back here with some findings. A growl vs a click, straight line or turns, 4wd-HI vs 4wd-lo, big tires, lift, etc are all important clues.

Re: 97 Jeep w/Noise when put in 4 wheel drive
Transfer case, front driveshaft, front axle. Some gear noise when engaged is
normal, a little more in low range. Clanging, banging, scraping noises are not normal. If the owner drove it on pavement with the transfer case engaged, some noise would have been the least of his problems.
