Hey, I have a 98 wrangler sport - 110k miles - 5sp manual 30/35 axles
So the other day i threw the jeep into 4hi since it was raining pretty heavy out just so I could make the short 2 min drive to work and after I took a turn (not really sharp) and it started to buck, i read that its because of something binding up since i must have hit a dry spot on the road but after the turn it kept bucking even while going straight, so i took it out of 4wd and it drove fine...but this morning (next time driving it) the car is -not- in any 4wd setting and now its randomly giving me the same feeling like it did the other day, the bucking, not constantly but it randomly happens and then i couldn't get it over 40mph no bucking feeling, just a feel like i was limited to only 40mph, so i turned around instead of going to the beerfest thing going on at the casino to start looking into this =(
The jeep idles like normal, no CEL, i do have an exhaust leak i need to fix but don't think that's related, the only maintenance Ive done recently is replace the rear drum brakes since all the small parts were rusted out. (i took off the old drum and half the parts fell out) Since i replaced the rear brakes it did seem to vibrate a little bit more then it did before but not by much.
I am not sure where to even begin to look
also right before it gives the bucking feeling, it almost feels like the tires spun a bit (like it didn't have traction just for a small skip)
Ive only had this jeep for around 5-6months and before i had it im assuming it had sat for most of the time, not sure if it was outside or garaged, but tranny was rebuilt in 2008 and between then and when i received it, its only had 6k miles on it
