Well I guess the thread title says it all.

Just recently my '96 4.0 Grand Cherokee had developed a strange feeling from the back wheels, as though they are getting stuck. It only happens when I am peeling away from lights, or have been waiting in traffic.

It also makes a noise, again as in the wheels are struggling to get going (back) or getting jammed? Not the greatest description I know but today I reversed out of a parking spot and was greeted with a stall, after which I couldn't get it started again because the immobiliser wasn't having any of it and decided to go into rest mode for a good three hours before deciding to wake up. Maybe this has no effect on the problems at the back but I wanted to add it in here in case there is some relation.

Recently its AUTO has been entirely rebuilt.

Im worried as to what this is but I was warned that something at the back sticks and I need to apply lubricant every now and then.

Your help would be appreciated.

 

It could be the parking brake or rear brakes hanging up. Does the area of the rear wheels around the lug nuts get hot after driving?

 

Hi and thanks for your reply,
I'll check that out tomorrow.
