So recently I purchased a 98 cherokee sport. W/ the 4wd engaged it would pull from left to right and generally be all over the road. After replacing axle shaft and drive shaft u joints, passenger side inner seal, and inspecting the gears the problem persisted. Running out of ideas I took it for an alignment and guess what they found... My 98 had a bent front axle. Trip to the junkyard, a night in the garage, and presto change-o no left/right pull w/ the 4wd engaged. Unfortunately I've owned 2 other cherokee's and I know something else isn't right. There's some noise w/ 4x4 engaged and it does have difficulty shifting (t-case), but I think the best symptom to give you is that when I have 4wd engaged and I put it in neutral and roll to a stop it feels as tho the front brakes are dragging. Keep in mind that symptom only occurs with 4wd engaged. Any ideas would be helpful, thanks!!

1. Linkage adjustment
2. Have you checked the fluid level in the T/C
3. Was the hub replaced along with the axle

I assume you mean the hub and bearing assembly. No I did not replace them as it was not necessary. If I'm not mistakin I would be feeling bad hub and bearings in 2h not only 4wd. I checked the t case level and it was good. I loosened the bolt to adjust the shift linkage, but it was so rusted I couldn't get any movement out of it.
