My 98 Jeep Grand is a Quad trac and when you turn the steering wheel it binds up and almost will stop. You make it go and the wheels hop or churp. What could be the problem???

 

is your front end locked or welded? and any more stats on your jeep. lifted? upgrades mechanically?

 

Sounds like problems with your t-case.

ah i missed that part about the "quad trac". i have to agree with ol"blue on that being the problem.

 

are the tires worn or in missed machted form, is the tirer presure all the same quads are VERY fusy about this. That is they like all tire circumferance to be close

 

i had a local jeep mechanic tell me the same thing. He said either the rear end or t-case and to take the front drive shaft out and if that stopped it then it was the t-case but if it still had the problem the rear was going bad. Thanks, Priced one with 84,000 miles for $300. Wished i had a garage i would do it myself. I normaly do my on work unless i need a garage.

 

I keep a close eye on my tire pressures and things like that. I have had alot of jeep cherokee's and loved every one. Thnaks for the info

 

Where are you located?

 

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll get it fixed when the money is there. Took the front drive shaft out for now. I have had several jeep cherokee's and i enjoyed every one but this one is my favorite because of teh color. It runs great to have 189,000 mile son it. I also have a 1988 Dodge truck and a 1974 Dodge charger.

 

Bassett, VA 24055 Near Martinsville VA Mechanic said instll for $100 Thats a good price better than me laying on a wet ground and using jack stands and floor jacks.

 

Oh okay. I'm visiting in Mich. now so it's too far or I'd offer to help you. Sorry.
That's not a bad price for a shop though.
