I just purchased a 2004 Jeep Liberty 3.7L Limited 4×4 with 109,500 miles. I noticed when accelerating from a complete stop with the front wheels turned to go around a corner I get a slight shutter and vibration from the rear of the vehicle. I don’t feel it is the transmission doing it because you can accelerate hard or lightly with wheels straitht from a stop and it doesn’t do it. Also if I and costing slow in a parking space and turning the wheels I gets a low pitched squeaking or running sound from the rear end. I have check the rear diff fluid and it is at the right level, but I’m sure if can use a change. The pinion seal is damp but not tripping. Also when I tugged in the axle at the U-joint it felt tight.
The transmission fluid is clean and fresh. It looks like it was recently rebuilt due to the clean bell housing and clean fluid. The transfer case fluid also it topped off and clean.
For all I know the vibration could be normal for this type of rear end. I’ve never owned a Jeep before only GM.
Thanks for reading my post!
