the whiz bang is out of adjustment for your back azimuth. Should be 20 dgrees N X NNW. Unless you have a Cobra shifter matic with Whiz bang on the fly adapter.

This is a hard problem to describe, I know, and I will toss out a few possibilities. If the noise occurs when the car is accelerating, it can be motor mounts, or carriage mounts on front-wheel drive vehicles. Transmissions can bang into gear. Drive shaft u-joints can bang before they fail. C-V joints in front wheel or 4 wheel drive units can bang when worn out.

The exhaust system can break loose and bang on the frame. Brake calipers can rock in their mounts and transmit sound. Tie-rod ends can make a knocking noise on every bump you hit. There were recalls on gas tank straps for some Ford made units, so a loose gas tank can bang.

try getting motor mounts checked or struts or wheel bearings , start with mounts.

Sound like you are having axle issues. Check the front and rear axles on a lift or off the floor on stand. Rotate the wheel by hand in foward and reverse rotation. If you hear click noises or hard to rotate then I am pretty sure the axle assembly are going bad. Also while the jeep are off the floor check your transfer case for oils for any metal shaving.

THEIR ARE ACUATORS ON THE FRONT PUMPKIN AND THE TRANSFER CASE THEY GO BAD ALSO THERE IS A MODULE UNDER DRIVER SIDE DASH,SQUARE BOX.IVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE WIRE HARNESS THAT GOES TO THE FRONT PUMPKIN MODULE,ITS TRIAL AND ERROR.LUCKLY I BUY LOTS OF SILVERADOS AND YUKONS FROM SALVAGE AUCTIONS AND DO A LOT OF REBUILDING OF THESE TRUCKS.SO I HAVE PARTS.YOU REALLY NEED SOMEONE WITH A TEC 2 GM TOOL IN WILL BE ALOT EASIER.

Sounds like your front axle is trying to engage but does not engage fully.check your vacuum going to the t-case switch and then if that is ok check your vacuum at the front axle actuator.It is located under the battery tray.

never shift on the fly. its just not a good idea. try shifting while at a stop. then go forward 20 feet and then back up 20 feet repeat this a few times. do this also when you go to disengage . there is a solenoid that is pumpkin of the front axle this may be bad or weak. a easy fix cheap too for a 4wd fix

Hello,
Be sure that the joints on your front driveshaft are in good condition, hope this helps, good luck
