It could be your axle U joint thats behind the wheel that goes to your transmission and goes through the center of the wheel and comes out on the outter side and is held on with a big axle nut and cotter pin.You didnt mention if this was a 4 wheel drive jeep cherokee or two wheel drive.Have the joint replaced.
