Default Cherokee 2.5tdi ltd - wheels blocked

Hi, i have a Cherokee 2.5tdi ltd from 1998. After doing a few kilometres i feel the wheels blocked when i make moves to left or right. It happens when I'm parking the veichle! I'm not sure If it's normal because the traction it's 4*4 all time! Can you help me?

We go by miles here.

Feel each rim, if a caliper is sticking then the rim should be really really really hott.

Not everybody is in the USA, and the whole rest of the world uses KM.
Anyway it could be many things, u-joint binding, brakes grabbing, NP249 viscous coupler failed, etc.

you should try traveling... The entire WORLD uses it. It's called the metric system. It's actually quite interesting. You should look it up.

It wasnt directed to you man. Youre fine. It was directed at the uneducated. If you have a sticking brake, your wheel will be very hot. If you have a worn out u joint, it will make lots of noise as you try to turn. If it does it when you turn both left and right, you may have a problem with your transfer case. Also, feel free to use kilometers here, MOST of us understand that not all Jeep owners are in the United States.
