1988 Cherokee Grinding noise in 4wd
1988 Jeep Cherokee when put in 4wd hi or lo, it makes a grinding noise. The transfer case does not pop out nor is the chain jumping teeth. It sounds like metal grinding on metal.
Other than U-joints in axles and the driveshaft does anyone else have any ideas?

I also have that when i put it in 4wd. In 2wd all is fine when finetunig the lever a bit.
I think the grinding-noise could be the shiftlinkages that needs adjusment or the load you put on the front-axle when in 4wd makes a bearing a bit noisy...? (if there is a bearing somewhere down there, i dont know)
Anyone else some ideas?

Have either of you guys ever checked your transfer case fluid level/condition?

I discovered my noise is the shaft coming out of the front of the transfer case that connects to the drive shaft. The front output shaft?? Anyways I happened to have a spare np231 laying around I'll through in tomorrow.

check your center axle disconnect as well. sounds have a tendency to sound like the are are coming from somewhere else. if the CAD does not fully connect it can sound like that also.

Again, as everyone else said, how's the fluid in the front diff? I changed the fluid in my front d30 and my 8.25 rear this weekend. I sanded and painted the covers when they were off.
