body jumping
So on Sunday I replaced seales for my axles and new oil, and I wanted to see how it felt, I went on a gravel/dirt road to test the 4x4. So with the 4x4 engaged, I drove it around and felt fine but when I tried to turn around I would make a normal right or left turn and the whole entire jeep would jump forward and reverse while turning and going about 5-10 mph forward. Any idea? I have been told one of my U-joints is going bad so is that what is causing this or something else?

Bad U-joints, or binding the joints at full lock, surface not loose enough for wheel slippage, this will cause binding in the diff and transfercase.

SSS: Slow speed slippage. No worries. When youre at a slow speed and turning "tight-ish" while in 4wd, it will jerk and jump like that.
