I'm betting:

Wrong Transfer Case Oil ( should be straw colour. If it's red it's wrong)
No FM in QDII ( if equipped)

Same applies to Power Steering Fluid.

If it's Red/Pink - it's wrong. Mopar fluid is clear.

I did not think about the PS. Does it shudder with the steering on full lock but the car not moving or only when moving in a tight turn?

I changed the gearbox and transfer case as a unit and it had a shudder when turning corners, the box and tc had been sitting for some time, the shudder went away but
I will still be changing the oil, have some Mobilfluid 424 here for the job

I found it is a Quadra Trac from the labeling on the shifter. Also it only happens when the jeep is moving forward, not when stationary or reversing. Only the engine oil was changed nothing else. I have had a minor weep from the PS hose at the fitting at the top of the pump.

Lift the front wheels off the ground and cycle the steering wheel back and forth to see if there is air in the system.

If in doubt watch a few videos on YouTube.

Is there any squealing or is it just the shuddering.
