Jeep Noise
Yes, I know that Jeeps making odd noises isn't very Earth-shattering, but the wife's Jeep has started a new and hitherto unheard noise. It happens while coasting and braking, not under acceleration. Kind of a clunking or rattling noise, and I can feel it under my feet when I drive it, so I figure left front. My first thought was the transmission, but somehow I don't think so. Maybe suspension, and the weight transfer under acceleration gets rid of it? I got under it and yanked on control arms and such, with no obvious movement.
Thoughts would be welcomed. Thanks. |

Check the end links of the sway bay if it has one (not a jeep guy).
I just had to replace them on my old car that I'm about to sell. |

Good thought. It's a 2005 Grand Cherokee. I think it has sways at front and back.

Yeah, that's a possibility. The drive shaft is huge. Kind of funny that we've had the beast since 2005 and I've never been under it until a few days ago.

U Joints are easy to check. Most of those Jeeps have a built in u joint gauge in the dash. Have you noticed a light come on that says "check u Joint"
