I am not sure if I am in the right place, but I have a 97 Jeep Cherokee limited. The back hatch door won't open. One of the main ideas in getting this jeep was so I could buy bags of feed for ouranimal s and not break my back getting them in and out of the trunk. And GROCERIES. Any ideas on how to get it to open? At first it opened fine. Then I had to lock-unlock the power lock, then sometimes it opened....now not at all. This process took about 6 months. I am frustrated with this and really don't want to take it in for repair. Hope I can find an answer here
1. Yes it does - all components in the transfer case move anytime the vehicle is in motion. Selecting 4x4 simply pushes the chain drive gear onto the input shaft.
2. The seal/rear bearing is not between the tranny and engine, it's around the output for the crankshaft. Since the tranny connects to the crankshaft, bad vibrations could make the bearing/seal go bad much faster yes. Repair both at the same time.

Ok Ive looked and probably missed it. I have finally gotten my engine problems felt with and am looking at lift now but noticed that my leafs in back are flat like almost a straight line. So do I need to replace them or can I rebend them. I'm only looking at going with like a 3.5 inch lift.
