Post 4WD Steering weirdness

Wierdness being a very technical term.

2000 Cherokee Classic. After I take it out of 4wd, when turning hard (both left or right) I get a heavy shaking in the steering. This condition goes away after a bit of driving.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

It may be that it's not coming out of 4wd quickly. Try driving straight for 20 yards or so, and add and let off the gas a few times. Some mild "s" turns will also help. In my 2000 GC, I'll usually hear a thump as it comes out of 4wd.

I would try a short stint in reverse and/or forward going straight after shifting out of 4wd. Often times the 4wd system can bind or lock into 4wd and have a hard time releasing right away. I am pretty sure it is just getting stuck in 4wd.

You are not shifting out of 4X4 soon enough. Allow at least 20 yards before trying to turn.
