Default loose Ujoints?

If i have loose U joints, will it cause my cherokee to bind when i turn sharp? or is that an alignment issue?

Yes loose (aka broken) u-joints will cause bind, but usually that only happens after ignoring the broken u-joints in the axle shafts for awhile. I would just pop some new ones in there. They cost like $12 at any auto parts store and its pretty easy to replace them. New shafts cost way more at about $150 so its definitely worth it to just replace the u-joints instead.

Although you do have a grand so not sure if you have u-joints or cv joints in the axles.
