Thanks matt, Going to take some time this weekend to see if I can track down my floor jack, if not I'll have to commandeer one so I can get down there and take a look. Seems like the U-Joints are a good place to start, and I'll check what I can of the overall drivetrain while I'm down there...

Well, I think I'm on to something. A troublesome U-Joint makes perfect sense with the other problems I've been having so it's a very likely culprit. And it does seem like they could make the sound I've been hearing, which'd only occur when the front axle was engaged. Now, if it is a U-Joint...

After a bit of research, I'm kind of wondering if that might be exactly what's going on. Could the front u-joints going bad cause sporadic Death Wobble? Been dealing with that the last few months periodically, wrote it off as an alignment issue and my balding tires (in the process of getting...

Alright, well - I'm really leaning toward there being insufficient or bad fluid in the TC based on what I know. Going to check that first before I do anything else, if that doesn't fix it, I'll move on down the line and try the rest of the suggestions. I'll probably just go ahead and lube the...

First time I've had to use the 4WD since I took it in to fix the motor mount bolt, so it hasn't been used in quite a long time indeed. I'm still worried about the possibility of there not being fluid in the T-Case, since it sat for so long and had to be filled up rather often before. I really...

When I first engaged, it felt like it might be slipping. I had to drive a short distance out of necessity, and it wouldn't do it when I was driving straight, but seemed to start up again when I went to make a turn. Not every time, but consistently enough. Not sure what sort of difference that...

Winter is in full swing here, and the other day I had to engage my 4Hi to get out of a nasty patch of ice. When engaging and at sporadic intervals afterwards, my Jeep let off a loud grinding sound, esp. when making any sort of turn. it's a '95 XJ - Automatic, with a 4.0L HO Engine, NP231 TC...

That's actually how I discovered it - nearly hit my head on it, look up to see it just hanging there by the edge. 'fraid if I would have, it might've fallen and I'd have more to worry about then a headache - probably a concussion. :cool:

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply - I was worried it might be something more serious, and scoured both my owner's and service manual for quite a while to no avail. Sounds like something I can easily pick up at the local pull-and-save, won't worry about it for now. I'm pretty gentle on her...

Hey everyone, new member here - hoping some of the NAXJA knowledge base can help me out with a couple questions I have. I currently have a '95 Jeep XJ - 231 T-Case (2wd, 4Hi, N, 4Lo), 4.0L HO Engine (That's about all I know from memory). It'd my daily driver and completely stock, but I've been...
