Something binding slow speed 4wd
When I put my 2000 JGC V-8 into full time 4WD, it works fine. But
when I go back to 2WD and I am cornering tight at slow speed, it's
like someone put the brakes on. Never noticed this until a Jeep
dealer did a complete brake job last summer. They replaced rotors and
drums and pads. Could something be binding down there. If I drive it
straight for awhile, it goes away.

I would be checking wheel bearings out I think.

Re: Something binding slow speed 4wd
I am not that knowledgeable, but here's a laymans guess. Possibly your
4wd is not disengaging and driving a bit more may cause it to finally
disengage. Possible?

Re: Something binding slow speed 4wd
Sounds about right. Wife would complain about the same thing. You need to be
moving when shifting and even get on the power a little after the shift for
it to disengage fully. Read this right in the owner's manual.
