    Problem?

    I dont know if this is a problem or not. I have a Grand Cherokee with the standard quadra trac 1 4x4 system. When ever i make a left or right turn and turn my wheel as far as it goes i hear a louad squeaking sound comming from the front wheels or something up front. This happens like when im in parking lot or parking grage at very slow speeds. Just wondering if it just cuz im turnig the whell all the way or what ? I really dont know

    If any one has any sugestions please let me know.

    Check the power steering fluid, on mine if the fluid is low the pump will squeal, progressively louder the farther I turn.

    Re: Problem?

    Is it coming from the tires or the belts? I've had a belt that is a little loose, squeal when I turned the wheel, the power steering pump causes more drag. Many four cylinder Jeeps actually has a pressure switch in the power steering pump to bump up the idle a little during a turn, larger displacement engines, don't need it, but the drag is still there.
    Could be your alignment is a little out.
    Could be just normal tire drag, the front suspension is set up so the steering wheel tries to center itself during a turn. Part of the geometry of a normal front end geometry. The angle of the tires fight each other a little, part of the self centering design. Seems to be a little more pronouncd in many 4X, likely because they engineer the self centering design to work when in 4X (under load) also.
    DO IT IN THE MUD!

    Sounds like a worn or dry CV joint in a front axleshaft. It's a 2010, take it to the dealership.
