when i engage the 4wd low rang there is a clicking noise. i was wondering if anyone had this problem or if anyone has any thoughts on what it might be. thanks

 

Start W/ u-joints in front drive shaft. The click that you hear is most likely also present in 4 HI, but you tend to not hear it because you are moving faster ( road noise masking it) It could be axle joints but I would start W/ u-joints

 

Sounds like stretched t-case chain. More torque from gear reduction in 4-low causes the chain to slip on gears more than in 4-high. crack the case open and see if it is stretched or loose, it will be close to resting on the bottom of the housing if it is badly stretched. If it was U-joints it would be present all the time since the Cherokee does not have unlocking hubs, everything spins all the time. Check both.

 

my guess would be the chain. thats what mine was. it started as a clicking, then turned into a loud popping noise. seemed like sound was from front axle. this is a very easy fix

 

i have a 84 xj with same problem and it does sound like its in the front axle. but i will be checking this tommorow. how much to fix ya think?

 

yeah i had the same problem...its the chains inside that are worned out...does it do in regular 4 wheel high or just in 4 wheel low?

 

i have a 93 and the same noise when in 4 lo, i also would like to know how much it would cost? thanks

 

the cost for mine i think was 70 bucks. thats the cheapest chain from autozone
