Ok so its not a DW, I just need to clean the rims, it should settle that, but can you explain why it didnt wobble in 4x4 going the same speed?

With the tcase having issues on engaging and disengaging I'd be concerned wether or not it actually kicked into neutral lol.

Yeah adjust that linkage for sure. Does your transfer case even have fluid in it?

Diff has a single fill plug that accepts a 3/8" socket driver, transfer case has drain and fill plugs with (something) mm hex heads. Both fluids should be just below the fill plug hole.

So undo the fill plug and look for fluid?

Ehhh Renegade? I missed that bit... Of course now I notice his username...

Pimpinrenegade can you post the first few digits of your VIN? There is no Renegade in 2000.
