Well, here I go. I'm hoping someone else has had this going on, I have zero trackbar play its nice and tight. I have a pulsing steering wheel while turning at low speeds. I have replaced everything while doing my 4x4 conversion, except the stupid u-joints in the front axle. I'm guessing this may be the culprit although they look newer. I can also feel popping in the wheel while parking? argh! Thanks for any info guys!

 

How are the tires? Any strange worn spot on them?

 

all time 4wd or part time. If its part time I would say u joints in axles. If its fool time could be u joints or transfer

 

I have the 242 transfer case. I'm thinking maybe axle u-joints, when the car is off you can barely turn the steering wheel at certain spots. Maybe I'm just used to the 2wd setup? Does a 4x4 cherokee have any low speed front axle issues as far as steering wheel speed up slow down?

 

i got the same problem but i found i have play in the bushings that attach my sway bar to the body, or the frame...so im gonna get new bushings and hope that fixes it
