I checked the c clips. They're both intact. Are all 4 bearing cups the same size ? This is for the front transfer case.

Welcome to the Forum. I do not know much about the Grand Cherokees but I had one of the flanges (where the u-joint sits coming from transfer case.. cant think of the name for some reason right now lol) wear out so much the joint was wobbling quite a bit on my XJ.
