4wd question on my new 1990 cherokee laredo
Im new to this forum. I just bought my first xj 1990 jeep cherokee laredo. It had bad front and rear axles. I bought axles and just got going. The 4wd actuator on the front axle was not hook up. I had been told that I could engage it and leave it engaged. When I place it in 4wd drive in my gravel driveway it feels like it in a bind and if I move slow you can see hear the tires spinning in the gravels slightly. Like the ratios are wrong in the front and rear axles. But the axles came out of the same jeep. I need some help. Can I engage the slide on the axle? WHy is the tires slipping or spinning?
Also I was driving and it was in od and it started free wheeling and would not pull. So I thought the tranny came out of it but a few minutes later it started working fine again. ??? THanks Jared

are your tires worn bad on either front or back compare to new one on the oppsite end? plus id pull the diff covers off and check the gears just in case...

if not already done, make sure that the years for your replacement axles are compatible, check fluids (they make a suprising difference), by the sounds, diff. gears would be a good guess... idk...
