06 Jeep liberty rear tires locking up in reverse
I have an 06 jeep liberty that will drive fine in drive but when
put in reverse you have to rev the motor to 2k rpm and then
it will engage, but when it does it feels like the rear-end is
locking up. It will move but shutters and clunks, put it back
in drive and everything fine. Any suggestions?  
FYI disc breaks all around, calipers are tight and not
missing bolts doesn't shift hard either. It is 4x4

does it have drum brakes in the rear? check to make sure that you don't have a brake shoe that is not loose or a broken spring.
