Why does my Jeep Grand Cherokee have a wide turning radius?
Sounds like both of your JGC’s are equipped with the “full-time” transfer cases. If that is the case, there’s not much you can do about it. The reason you have such a wide turning radius is because your transfer case is driving both the front and rear axles, and a driven front axle will pull while turning which causes the wide turns.
What to do if your Jeep Grand Cherokee wont turn?
Grab either your tie rod or drag link and try to move them from side to side. If they move, that could be your problem. Your steering linkage should be tight. Another thing you may want to check for is worn front axle bearings. Jack up the front end and see if you can rock the wheel back and forth (top to bottom).

Why does my Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited not turn?
I own 2 JGC Limited’s, a 1994 and a 1998. Both have a problem turning at slower speeds. I’ve replaced the Transfer Case on the 98 and it didn’t help. The mech told me it was the 4 wheel drive engaging due to control arm bushings, shocks, and uneven tire wear (after replacing the TC!).

This effect causes your vehicle to under-steer heavily, gears to get jammed and makes steering very difficult and even jerky.

Your Jeep’s tie rod and tie rod ends should be next on the hit list. To check these, use a jack to lift up the front of the Jeep and then have a friend grab one wheel and twist it back and forth. If the tie rod doesn’t move, but the ends seem to wiggle, then they most likely need replacement.
