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.
Dan

Re: Post 4WD Steering weirdness

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.

Re: Post 4WD Steering weirdness

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.
