hopping during turn
 
The old ladies 98 grand cherokee is hopping when making sharp rh or lh
turns. She had not use the 4wd for a while until the recent snows.
Could it be possible that the 4wd is stuck on even though 2 hi selected.
Has anyone else experienced this
What would be the cure.
Mike Romain I would value your input on this one.
Thanks to all for assistance.

Have a 88 yj myself and love the tinkering. Just want to make sure I'm on
the right trac.

Re: hopping during turn
 
Is this happening when she's on ice or snow, or are her tires on
pavement when that happens?

Might be worth jacking up a front wheel just to make sure it's free
and out of four wheel drive.

Re: hopping during turn
 
Could be. Is it continuous or just after she shifts back to 2wd? Sometimes
it takes a few seconds to shift back. If it's auto, it helps to let up on
the gas or shift the tranny to N for a second to unload the drivetrain.

In case it is sticking continuously, verify that you can shift it into 4lo
as well...just to get everything working smoothy. Ideally you should shift
in into 4wd every so often just to make sure everything works correctly, so
it will work when you need it.
