Bought it as is, there is binding or vibration type feeling when turning while at low speeds such as in the driveway, going in a straight line no issues. There are codes some are history, if it is the rear differential how is that connected to this issue?
If it is the transfer case, how would it cause this?
How can i confirm which is the cause by looking down there?
Do I remove the axle and see what happens? If I do, do I need to plug it so fluid won't come out?
or remove the shaft between the transfer case and rear?

If you're experiencing binding or vibration while turning at low speeds, while the rear differential or transfer case could be related to the issue, it's important to consider other components as well.

No leaks or damage anywhere. If i remove the driveshaft between transfer case and rear differential can i drive it to eliminate the binding issue being caused by the rear end? Is there another smaller drive shaft on these cars like BMWs? One between transmission and transfer case? I just need to eliminate something somehow and make it a fwd or a rwd to see which side is causing it.
