U-joints??

Ok so when I'm in 4wd, and turning, it kinda feels like the tires are hitting the fender well, like there being kicked back. In 2wd everything fine.
Could it be the ujoints, or something more serious?
 

Check the front driveshaft to see if ujoints are not bad what speed are u at when your hering the noise
 
It's been doing it awhile, weather I'm on pavement or not.


It's not a good idea to drive your jeep in 4wd on pavement, since pavement does not allow the wheels to slip as you go around corners. So what are the symptoms you are experiencing? Grinding?
 
it is most likely doing that because you are in 4wd. it is typical to get feedback through the steering wheel, especially on dry pavement. unless there is a viscus coupler in the t-case like the quarda-drive, your front and rear axle are locked together, the front tire when turning is rotating at a slightly different rate then the rear and will try to pull the front axle straight.

Typically a U-joint will make a bunch of clicking noises when they go bad.
 

Just did my u-joints in my front axle. They were clicking when turning in 4wd only. There was also red dust on the knuckle. Mine were pretty bad felt like death wobble.
