I have a 1995 Grand Jeep Cherokee Laredo, with four-wheel drive all the time. Not long ago my car tires started making a noise when i turn sharp like into a parking place. My car tires have been recently alligned so i'm not sure whats causing it. If anyone knows how to help me please reply.

It can be the v/c in your trnsfer case going bad ($$$) or one of the c/v's in the front axle are going bad.

Can you be more specific? What kind of sound is it? If the v/c was going bad (which is very common in the 249s) when you try and do figure 8's you'll experience "wheel-hop" which basically feels as if the front tires are being shoved under the body and "tripping" over themselves. If it's just a light clunk or squeal sound, it could be your trackbar or sway bars.

Mine was making "OINK" sounds when I turned left or right...I took apart my sway bar, lubricated the joints, re assembled it, and it hasn't made the sound since.

If your 249 v/c goes bad, it will cost a lot to repair...if thats the case, look into swapping the 249 for a 242, if you search google i'm sure you can find many write-ups on it as many people have done it before.

it could just be bad tires too.. don't cut that out.. maybe a broken radial or something..

One way to check to see if it is the VC is to remove your front drive shaft. If the problem goes away there it is.

Also if it's a grinding noise it could just need diferential fluid. SJ
