Default problems but dont know the cause!

ok, i heard a snap and gind noise a couple times but haven't found a cause.
when i press the gas my jeep doesnt always go then its almost like the gears finally catch and then jerks forward and goes.
I have a vibration in my car when I hit 60mph
when in 4wd and turn, the steering wheel jerks back into place as well as the front axle.

have cleaned the crbarator, replaced the tps, replaced the other sensor next to the tps, had an alignment, had a balance, checked the axle shaft.

running out of ideas and money....

Sounds like a transmission issue.

Start by checking the level and quality of your transmission fluid.

Check for loose/worn driveshaft u-joints. Also tires out of balance.



when in 4wd and turn, the steering wheel jerks back into place as well as the front axle.

While checking driveshaft u-joints, check the front ones first. When they bind they'll pull the steering wheel back.

we already checked the u joints on the drive shaft, already had a balance
