Default sterring/suspension/t-case??

ok, well im about to order my rough country 3.5" suspension lift, but id like to fix a problem too, i own a 94 ZJ limited, awd all the time, and im having difficulties turning into parking spots, making u-turns, backing out of spots, and after turning out of a spot or turning from a dead stop, a vibration, and sometimes maybe a clunk here and there, any ideas?? and my screen says to check 4wd switch

Sounds like a t-case internal coupling problem to me. Did this recently start, as has it done it since you bought the vehicle, and if so how long has that been?

The experts say the coupling in the t-case goes bad and the main sign is the symptoms described.

You need a new transfer case if you have the quadra trac which is the 4HI - N - 4LO the viscus coupling are known to go bad alot in those.

If they go bad it will act like your jeep is in part time 4wd and will cause binding and hoping feeling while taking sharp sharp turns since the front and rear diff cant turn and seperate speed since the coupling is bad.

I had to replace 2 transfercase's so far in my wifes jeep for that issue IMO next time her goes bad i'm putting a selec trac in there like mine.

thats what i was afraid of, well im going to rotate the tires tomorow just for $hit$ and giggles and see if maybe the tires are screwing it up, and ive had the jeep for about 3 months and its been doing it for the whole 3 months, its got 136k miles on it and it is awd all the time, i would really hate to have to turn down this lift to replace the t-case haha but we will see what happens, im going to check the front end tomorow too and see if anything is loose, i would like to just blow it off and ignore it becuase i have people telling me they have gone 2 years with the problem, even had one guy say 7 years, but i have a newborn and im not sure if its a chance i want to take
