Probably torsion bar mount isolators. Park on a flat level surface, crawl under there, and push up on the crossmember that the torsion bars mount to, in the back..... Does it move? There ya go.

AWD == 4WD for everything besides the Tcase and the front axle engagement actuator. Suspension is identical.

Probably torsion bar mount isolators. Park on a flat level surface, crawl under there, and push up on the crossmember that the torsion bars mount to, in the back..... Does it move? There ya go.
Try this......

If they are OK, jack up the front end, and support it on jack stands. Grab the left front wheel, with your hands at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions, and try and wiggle the tire. Does it move? Do the same thing with your hands at 3, and 9. Does it move? If so, have a friend look at the suspension parts while you wiggle, and see where the slop is. To check lower balljoints, place a prybar under the tire, and try and lift up, have a friend watch the lower balljoint to see if there is any slop. Replace parts as necessary.

I am betting on torsion bar mount isolators though.
