Topic: 4 Wheel High Turning

[Bluesteel88]

Just recently after i put the car into 4H while park, i tried to do a U turn, so i cut the wheel quite a bit but when i started to go, the whole car started to buck and the tires where screching back and forth. I was going forward but the whole car was bucking, until i straighten out the wheel again. It only happens when i make tight turns, not sure why but its obviously not safe.
Any reason why? i have no clue what could be going on.

Thanks

Just a friendly reminder that its a Jeep not a car,

When you're in 4wd and take a tight turn the wheels on the inside of the turn are turning faster than the wheels on the outside of the turn. Causes some strain on the drivetrain and that's the bucking you're feeling. You'll feel that sensation less if you're on loose pack dirt or in the mud. On pavement it's brutal.

Oh man, I didn't even notice that. lol

Bluesteel88, it's a JEEP. And to help you remember to reference it as such J.E.E.P. = Just Empty Every Pocket.

Yup, the *pop*pop*pop* isn't good.  You should never turn on 4wd while on dry pavement.  It's a part-time system which means it should only be used when traction is less them optimal.

ohhh yeah it was just weird never happen before, everything was squeaking and sounded like the whole front end was crying, thought something was broke but i can kinda see why turning and 4H aren't friendly with each other
PHEW

Thanks!!
