Shaking & No Acceleration - Help!

[TexasGladi]

Two questions here:

1. I've had an ongoing issue where at low speeds(max 15mph) and while turning, there is a grinding noise while accelerating..past 15mph the noise stops and it doesn't occur while going straight. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

2. This morning while driving to work(1 hour commute/all highway) I had a shaking issue where I could feel it in the steering wheel and front end of my jeep. It wouldn't let me accelerate while this was occurring and when I let off the gas pedal, the shaking would stop but would randomly happen throughout the hour drive. Any ideas on this?

Jeep is a 2021 Willys Sport w/ 99K miles. Leveled with BFG 35"s w/ a tazer to correct the shift points for the upsized tires. Also, I recently changed my diff fluid. Planning on getting under there tomorrow and seeing if anything is loose or if I can see any obvious problems.

Thank yall in advanced for any help!

Confirm all fluids are within spec. Check steering components and front track bar, especially where the track bar mounts to the frame. Not saying this is the cause just a good place to start. Good luck!

If the problem started after your recent differential fluid change, you may need to add some limited slip additive. IIRC, the Willys came standard with a rear limited slip and what you describe sounds like the typical hanging up/dragging symptoms when no additive is used in the gear lube.

Many possibilities:
Front axle
Wheel bearing
Front driveshaft
Transfer case
Rear axle
Transmission

you have a video?

That probably us the computer keeping you from accelerating ..because ypu probably have something loose in the front end.

Make sure your E-brake isnt stuck .
Check Make sure you dont have a hung up brake caliper. Jack each wheel up ine at a time see if they roll freely
