hey, can anyone helpme. im dumbfouynded on what to do next. when i make sharp turns (left and right, mostly right) my wheel feels like its going to lock up, almost if my abs is kicking in. it feels like it almost "hops". i replaced the power steering pump yesterday, and still the same problems. my tires are in ok/perfect condition, no rubbing or wear marks. no warning lights are on.what should i check out, or do? thanks for any help

 

does speed affect it? is it 2wd or 4x4, awd?

 

did you check your brakes to see if they are worn out? i would also look at the hub bearing

 

its awd. mainly when turning in town, not bad when at driving speed. i replaced the brakes 6 months ago. it almost feels like abs is going out, but no sign of it.

 

Transfer case binding up???
Any leaking from your transfer case?

 

samnben has the right idea, lift 1 of the front tires off the ground and make sure it spins, if it locks up then your t-case is stuck in 4WD high.

 

ya... when you say it hops that makes me think its stuck in 4hi like evon said

 

I had the same problem with my Durango a year ago. It was the intermediate shaft (connects the stering sheel to the steering box). THis shaft has a u joint in it an is designed to collapse in a crash. Cost me ~200.00 to have it replaced.

 

He said it was an AWD and with it being a 4.7L then it would have to be a Canadian model.

I would check the lower ball joints and front end gear fluid.

What shift positions does your switch let you switch between?

 

im hoping he has the problem fixed by now hydra, check some dates
