no they are bad, unless its brakes
a real mech , checks both.
its one or the other, or worse. bad axle gear/bearings/
the fsm covers both. ever seen the real book? on this car.
the ZJ book is here and free

keep in mind jeeps may have different axles.
2wd, 4wd, and locking axles (options)
models 30, 35 and 44 so the details vary that is why the book wins here. the real book wins.
diagnosis is an other matter, i have an electronic stethoscope
that allows me to drive and hear each bearing. cost me $35.
id inspect brakes first. after all they are in clear easy view.
make sure the brake parts are not seized. that includes
the Emg. brake parts !!!
does you car have ABS brakes?
some have drums others have rear disc brakes, the linked FSM
covers both.
for example disc calipers can fail in many ways
guides seized.
pistion seized
emg brake part stuck.
cracked rotors, or warped.
so that be first a real brake inspection on side that makes noise.
if the brakes are ok, then axle bearings are checked next
if you feel radial play they are BAD.
and more. ask.
