Default 2011 wrangler sport

New to the sport! Just bought a 2011 wrangler sport. Who ever owned it before put a lot of money into it. It has 35" on it. When I put it in 4wheel drive and make a turn I hear knocking in both front tires. Before I take it back to the dealer I was wandering if anyone new what the problem maybe?

Ujoints would create a knocking/binding. If you are on dry pavement-don't put it in 4x4

Just crawl under and see if you can wiggle the ujoints. If they appear loose, they need replacing. If you off-road and a bad one completely breaks, you are stuck.

Glad to hear. It is always tempting to put that jeep in 4x4 when we first get them. I remember doing the same years ago and thinking it was going to fall apart. Easy way to cause damage on dry pavement.
