I have a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd, 8cyl and full time 4WD / AWD. When I turn the wheels hard over to either the left or the right it feels like one wheel "locks up" momentarily after a tire rotation, squeaks on the pavement like it's being dragged, then rolls free for a tire rotation before doing it again. It stops doing this when straightening out the wheels or not turning so sharply. Any ideas on what this could be? CV joints maybe?

I have a 93 grand cherokee--does the same thing. The chunk in the front end has a uni-lock pinion and actually does lock up and drag one of the tires. The slower tire in the turn is trying to catch up with the other tire on the outside of the turn. This is normal and will not cause a problem.

this is a normal feeling for your jeep, my '98 Full time four wheel drive does the same thing. what you are feeling is the front wheels pulling themselves along. the reason you feel this on sharp turns is because of each wheel turning at different speeds and the sharper the turn the different the wheel speeds can vary. any vehicle in four wheel drive will experience the same problem..... hope this calms you down ;)

on a full time 4wd this is normal.......when it slips and grabs that is the viscius clutch in the transfer case doing its job....it's when it doesn't release and you hear a poping noise in the transfer case that you have a serious problem
