did you ever find the solution to this? i just bought a 00gc limited and it is doing this same thing!!! and i cannot find the solution anywhere!!! if you have figured it out please email me at [email protected] and put grand cherokee in the subject line, please and thank you and if i find the solution i will post on here...thanks so much....
is it a grinding noise, or vibration noise, as sometimes the heat shields can produce a vibration noise that can be misheard as a grinding noise......does this grinding noise go away as you brake ????...do you hear it more whn you go left or right ???
As weird as it may sound, i'd check the power steering fluid. An empty power steering fluid tank will make the power steering grind and make weird noises, and having it at full lock will worsen the noise and have no fluid to build pressure it might starting jumping the steering around a bit. If the power steering is OK then you will need to take the rear drums apart to check for any broken retainer springs preventing the pads from returning into place and it will keep braking and grinding. Could also just be some rust or a broken off metal part in the drum also, but either way you will need to take the drums off and inspect the springs, clips and pads to ensure everything is OK and nothing stays jammed into braking position. Also be sure to verify the rear brake cylinders in the drums, as it may also be them that don't return to the initial position and keep the brakes on.
Sounds like the transfer case is not fully engaging itself. you will have to check this out. This will only cause more damage if left alone. make sure the wires are connected and tight. if the wires are OK, the internals are likely to be malfunctioning. replacing or repairing the transfer case will fix this.
